Raised Granite Ledger Cover (Elevated Grave Memorial)

The Raised Granite Ledger Cover is designed to elevate the appearance of a grave, giving it greater prominence and distinction compared to flat ledger slabs. Built with a thick granite slab set on a raised base or kerbed structure, this memorial style is particularly popular in Orthodox and Catholic cemeteries, as well as family plots in Europe, Russia, and Latin America.

More than just a cover, the raised ledger creates a sense of permanence and grandeur, while also providing additional protection for the grave. Available in Absolute Black, Paradise, Marina Verde, Kuppam Green, Himalayan Blue, Orion, Red Multicolour, and Indian Aurora, each raised ledger can be customized with inscriptions, borders, or combined with upright headstones and crosses for a more dramatic effect.
