Surface treatment

Different surfaces

You choose which surface treatment your tombstone should have. We recommend a polished surface if you want minimal maintenance and a nice tombstone over time.
Such a surface later grows with lichen and moss, at the same time it is smooth (dense) and therefore easy to clean.
Stones with a sandblasted, hewn or natural surface are more open and provide a better breeding ground for lichen and moss, which is also nice in its own way.

• POLISHED SURFACE
  Polished surface is high-gloss, which means that the stone's structure and color stand out well. This is the most commonly used surface on tombstones.
  This is an almost maintenance-free surface, it is easy to clean, while moss and lichen are difficult to heal.
  Stones marked with POLISH have only polished front (Mostly sandblasted edges and back) which is most common.
  Stones marked with FULLY POLISHED have all sides polished which gives a very exclusive look.

• SMOOTH SANDED SURFACE
  The surface should not normally have visible marks from grinding, but it can occur especially on dark stones and in bright ligh.
  The surface is sanded smooth without unevenness, but not high-gloss. A colorful surface where the stone's structure and color emerge.
  
  
  
  
  

  ---

• SANDBLASTED SURFACE
  This is the usual surface treatment for the back and edges if the tombstone is not fully polished.
  It gives a smooth, completely matte and slightly rough surface..
  
  
  
  
  

  ---

• NATURAL SURFACE & FLAMMED SURFACE
  Flaming (burning) of stone is used on sawn surfaces.
  This weathers the stone and the surface becomes almost as natural, matte and rough
  
  
  
  
  

  ---

• ROUGHED EDGE
  This is a roughly hewn natural surface with greater or lesser irregularities.
  It is preferably used for coarser form-cutting of the edges of tombstones.
  
  
  
  
  

  ---

• PIKET SURFACE
  he surface is chiseled with a chisel with a slightly coarser point of impact.
  This gives a rough surface with good contrast to polished and sanded surfaces.
  
  
  
  
  

  ---

• FINELY CHOPPED SURFACE
  The surface is chiseled / hammered with a fairly shallow and dense impact point. Use a toothed stud hammer with a distance between the teeth of 5 - 10 mm
  a grainy surface is obtained. With a flat chisel (without teeth) and tight strokes, a knurled surface is achieved. Both methods give a smooth and rough surface and
  good contrast to polished and sanded surfaces that are usually more colorful.

The Funeral Regulations

Formal application included free of charge

All our grave monuments are secured in the best way and in accordance with current regulations in Norway.

The burial regulations and local cemetery statutes set boundaries and regulate how a burial site should be, such as location, height and width of the grave memorial, lanterns, plates and planting. We can offer help and assistance with local regulations and articles of association regarding legal size, framing of plant fields, installation of bronze birds and lanterns.

Do you know the local regulations and statutes in your cemetery? Normally, you must apply for approval of design, size, choice of material, weight, accessories and the like, before you can set up a grave memorial. Such an application is usually unproblematic and formal. We always make sure that this is in order - and we do not add anything to the price of the grave memorial for this.

This only applies to burial sites in Norway
