Grave, vault or ossuary — which is your case?
Headstone for a grave
It is the plaque placed over the earth grave or on the cement slab. Families usually choose rectangular formats between 14×22 cm and 40×30 cm, depending on the space available and the amount of text.
Plaque for a family vault
In a vault, the plaque is fixed to the front of the niche or to the inner wall. What counts here are the exact measurements of the opening — we send you the design to scale to confirm before engraving.
Plaque for an ossuary
An ossuary is a small niche that keeps the remains after exhumation, common in Portuguese cemeteries. The openings are smaller, so the 14×22 cm and 20×20 cm formats are the most chosen. Even at a reduced size, there is room for a photo, name, dates and a short message.
The right headstone is a well-measured headstone
Most doubts are settled with two measurements: the width and the height of the space where the plaque will sit. With those figures we tell you the most suitable format — from 14×22 cm, starting at 35 €, up to the half-metre 53×33 cm. Then you only choose what to engrave: colour photograph, full name, dates and a message of your choosing.

Frequently asked questions about vaults, graves and ossuaries
Do you make headstones for family vaults, graves and ossuaries?
Yes, we produce custom headstones for every type of burial place — grave, family vault and ossuary. Tell us the type and the format you have in mind, and we will help you choose the right measurements.
What is the difference between a grave headstone and a vault plaque?
The grave headstone rests over the burial place and is usually larger. The vault plaque is fixed to the front of the niche or to the wall, so the measurements of the opening have to be respected to the millimetre.
Which measurements should I choose for an ossuary?
The 14×22 cm (35 €) and 20×20 cm (49 €) formats are the most used in ossuaries. Send us the measurement of the opening and we will point out the best option.
How do I fix the headstone to the grave or the vault?
Slate can be glued with stone adhesive or fixed with screws and wall plugs. We explain the method best suited to your case when we send the design.
Can I see the design before production?
Always. We send the complete preview and only produce after the family's approval — with no payment before approval.
