Every human has a unique fingerprint, an original voice and a personality entirely their own. It seems so strange that the memorials crafted to honor these unique individuals are so uniform and pay little homage to the person remembered. With so many cultures and histories, individual quests and life pursuits, shouldn’t we have a diversity of options to remember our beloved? Lundgren Monuments creates handmade translucent cast glass memorials as an alternative to the traditional granite and bronze headstones. Luminescent, organic, rugged and incredibly beautiful, cast glass monuments actually glow with life and spirit, standing out as a beacon amongst a field of stones.
