黒御影石の墓標
Product Overview
A 黒御影石の墓標 (also known as a grave marker, cemetery markerあるいは memorial marker) is a stone memorial used to identify and honor a loved one at a burial site.
Based on cemetery rules, gravemarkers can be produced as flat/lawn-level markers, bevel markersあるいは slant markers with a base.
The style shown in the reference image is a slant gravemarker featuring a high-polished face, rock-pitched natural sides, and a solid base—a popular choice when you want premium visibility while maintaining a stable footprint outdoors.
Stone Characteristics
- 色： deep black to charcoal black (natural granite variation by block)
- Structure: compact grain for sharp lettering and durable edges
- Weather Performance: excellent resistance to rain, UV exposure, and seasonal temperature changes
- Surface Options: polished, honed, flamed, sandblasted, bush-hammered, rockface
Color & Pattern Description
Black granite typically presents a consistent dark background with subtle mineral specks under strong light.
When finished with a mirror polish, the surface becomes highly reflective, which helps laser etching そして gold/silver paint-filled lettering stand out clearly.
For cemeteries requiring low glare, a honed or lightly sandblasted face is also available.
Available Finishes
- ポリッシュ仕上げ： glossy mirror surface, best for photos, laser etching, and premium appearance
- 本磨き： smooth matte surface, softer reflection, classic cemetery look
- Sandblasted: ideal background for carved letters and contrast effects
- Rock-pitched / Rockface: natural split texture for sides and top edges (as shown in the photo)

よくあるご質問
1) What is a gravemarker?
A gravemarker is a cemetery memorial stone used to display a name, dates, and inscription at a burial site.

Flat markers sit level with the ground, while slant markers have an angled face for easier reading and typically include a base.

Polished is premium and supports photo etching, while honed or sandblasted can reduce glare and improve readability in bright sunlight.
