The times change. There is an intense process of incorporating religious elements into civil life and funerary art is one of these elements. The need for the funerary monument, memory and tribute to our loved ones, transcends culture and tradition. We are experiencing a progressive, but constant change in the introduction of new symbols in the creation of Tombstones.
The latest additions in the manufacture of modern tombstones
In the last two decades we have witnessed the incorporation of new manufacturing techniques. Most of these new technologies are here to stay, such as laser engraving, embossing, porcelain inlay, or sandblasting. They are innovative elements if we compare them with the ancient tradition of the stonemason and the marble mason.
The personalization of the tombstone a booming trend
The new machinery that allows for such advanced finishes have made artistic works affordable until now reserved for the pantheon of illustrious people. Each tombstone becomes a unique work, different from the neighboring ones.
