This glass cross monument with a granite foundation is distinctly monumentalized and verticalized compared with other cross-shaped headstones. The glass cross expresses the idea that there is one way for a soul to reach heaven – “The Way of Light”. “The Way of Light” begins from the ground where it is founded in-between beautiful granite slabs. The foundation stone is divided into two halves by a light, layered glass channel as if flowing through the stone. The glass channel symbolises the clarity of the soul like the clarity of a stream flowing out and fusing with the life’s source. As the stream moves upwards, reaching towards the sky, it turns into a bright, glimmering glass cross monument. The glass cross gravestone itself is penetrated by metal rods for durability and safety purposes.
The heart, the seat of the soul, the centre of life, is located in the upper third part of the human body. It is represented as the deep concaved form in the centre of the glass cross grave monument, creating the most beautiful and intense interplay with the rays of the sunlight.

Shipping and delivery
As soon as the glass memorial is ready, we share photos/videos with you for evaluation, prepare it for shipment and make installation instructions. We survey logistics companies to find and offer you the best delivery option. We can do the survey as soon as we know the delivery address and the exact configuration of the shipment - size and weight. We have established successful cooperation with transportation companies in various countries, but we are also open to collaboration with other logisticians, which you propose and choose! |

Production duration
The production of glass monuments lasts from 30 workdays. It mainly depends on the complexity of the design and the ongoing workload during the particular period. The work volume is usually highest during spring, whereby the production time is the most extended, starting from ~45 workdays. Therefore, we advise ordering a glass monument timely. For example, if you wish to install the memorial in spring/summer, then - autumn/winter is the best time to make the order. |

Granite base and other stone elements
You may choose to develop the granite base and stone elements with your local stonemasons or us. Making them locally will save you the shipping costs, and the stonemasons may prepare the ground and install the base as soon as it is ready. On rare occasions, making the stone parts with us will be the only option. This applies to designs where the stone and glass have to be very closely fitted (e.g. inlay of stone in glass monument or glass in boulder). |
