A story made of care
We were born from a simple idea: honouring those who have passed should not cost a fortune.
From an idea to a mission
Lápides D'Saudade was founded about a year ago by Flávio Sousa and Akemi Rodrigues, when they realised that the funeral memorial market in Portugal was, for many families, out of reach: expensive, impersonal products with long lead times.
They found a solution: quality slate, combined with UV printing and laser engraving — technologies that reproduce a face, a name, a date with photographic precision, in a personalised memorial piece at a fair price.
What started as an idea became a small, dedicated team with a clear mission: to help every family honour those who have passed with the dignity and care they deserve.
Two principles in every piece
We believe every family deserves a dignified tribute, whatever their budget. Our pieces start at 35€ — with no hidden fees and no payment before approval.
UV printing and laser engraving let us reproduce a face, a name, a date with photographic precision — permanently, on natural slate. The result is sharp, elegant and made to last.
A small team, a great purpose
We are Flávio, Akemi and a small team united by one purpose: that every piece leaving our hands is worthy of the person who will receive it. We treat every order as if it were for our own family.
