The grave can be designed in different ways. In addition to plants and blooming seasonal flowers, you can also use different types of jewelry for graves. Small statues and vases make it possible to give the deceased a worthy farewell and to create a well-kept and stylish resting place in the future. For the grave design with grave decorations, different items are offered that you can individually label or have engraved. We have put together some examples in this article.
Grave decoration made of stone
The jewelry can be made of different materials. However, the most common choice is stone or metal, as they last forever and are not affected by the weather. The vases for the grave are usually made of one type of stone. Stone as a material has the advantage that it is heavy and therefore more stable and does not fall over in strong winds.
Various metals are also suitable for creating grave decorations. The piece of jewelry above, for example, can adorn the gravestone, a bouquet of flowers or other decoration and can be engraved with the name, date of birth and death.
Birds for the grave
Neutral figures, like these metal birds, are also very suitable. The birds are not only very suitable for spring and summer, but also make a good impression in the other seasons.
Plastic grave decoration
As a cheaper alternative, plastic or another artificial material is often chosen for the grave design with grave decorations. It is also relatively resilient and long-lasting. Through good design with color, every figure can look like a real natural material. Stone and wood in particular are often imitated with plastics.
