Choosing a gravestone is a personal process. A memorial stone made of petrified wood is a special monument to remember your loved one. You can be sure that no two stones are the same.

A tombstone made of petrified wood has an enormous history. The stone lived as a tree about 20 million years ago. This beautifully expresses a feeling of eternity. It is also a beautiful symbol to connect history and life on earth.

Tombstone petrified wood

    A tombstone is petrified wood

    Are you looking for a tombstone made of petrified wood? You will find countless beautiful options in the Loek van Holland collection. These gravestones combine the natural beauty of wood with the durability of stone, giving them a unique and timeless look. Petrified wood is created by a natural process in which wood has been converted into stone over millions of years, resulting in a beautiful and durable material.

    What is petrified wood?

    Petrified wood is in fact a wooden fossil. Trees that were buried centuries ago under sand or lava, for example, have been shielded from oxygen for millions of years. This ensured that the wood did not decay, but was converted into stone. The shape and colors of the wood are well preserved during the petrification process.

    As strong as granite

    Although a tombstone made of petrified wood looks exactly like real wood, this type of stone is extremely durable. In terms of hardness, it is comparable to granite. And thanks to our processing, the pieces are well protected against various weather influences.

    For example, at Loek van Holland a stone is treated with a special water-repellent nano coating. In addition, where necessary, we fill the small cracks in the stone with a strong epoxy glue using an injection needle. This is done practically invisibly and reduces the risk of breakage to a minimum.
