A tombstone is a timeless memorial, reflecting your life and the final resting place of you and your loved ones. As the final marker of a life well lived, choosing the suitable material that stands the test of time is essential.
At Thabaletsi Tombstones, we offer our clients a selection of granite and glass tombstones due to the durability of the material and the impeccable look and feel of the design of the stone. While granite still remains our most popular choice is also definitely worth considering as both materials are durable and versatile.
The composition of granite and why you should choose it
From the word “granum”, which means grain in Latin, granite is named due to the granular, crystalline structure visible within each slab. Granite consists mainly of quartz and feldspar, which contains a percentage of mica and a range of other materials.
This tight material structure ensures that granite remains solid and stable. And, of course, if there was ever a material to maintain a lasting legacy, then granite comes out top of the class. It’s no surprise that, for this reason, granite is the material of choice for monuments and tombstones worldwide.
Beyond the reliability of the material, granite is also uniquely creative in its presentation with various colour choices. These may range from light to dark greys, Zimbabwe black and even brighter colours such as red, blue, green, pink, and or orange. The addition of the naturally forming veins which meander through the material pores only adds to the elegance.

Glass tombstones for a variety of designs
With a combination of either glass or granite stone bases, glass grants us the freedom to envision and design a tombstone with unlimited creative license. These bespoke and made-to-order glass masterpieces allow us to layer and cast glass using various intricate techniques.
Glass also offers us a variety of combinations in terms of themes, colours and shape specifications to suit just about any budget. Here at Thabaletsi Tombstones, you can select from a variety of premade glass designs to enhance or form the major attraction of your tombstone.
