About Grabmale Roth
Grabmale Roth is a stonemasonry and stone sculpting business in Bernkastel-Kues on the Moselle, run as a family business since 1932 and now in its fourth generation. The company specialises in natural stone work: it produces single, double and urn gravestones, sculptures, stone sculpting work, furniture pieces such as benches and tables, as well as decorations and stone signs. Natural stones such as granite, slate, marble, sandstone and basalt are used; regional materials in particular, such as sandstone, slate and basalt, are worked to customers' specifications. Ornaments, embellishments, name engravings and applied letters are carved by hand or attached by hand. In addition, the business offers restoration of stonework indoors and outdoors, for example the refurbishment of entrance portals and window surrounds, the restoration of art-historical wayside shrines and statues, and the impregnation (sealing) of natural stone work. Metal and wood are also used for special details. The work is carried out in handcrafted production with great attention to detail; the range includes a stock of gravestones and urn grave installations as well as advice on selection.
