Xiamen Granite Stone Direct Import and Export Co., Ltd. is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of hand carved cross monument in China. With a professional production team, we are able to meet the needs of the majority of our customers. Please rest assured to wholesale custom made hand carved cross monument from our factory.
This Hand Carved Cross Monument is produced in our factory from selected SADark Grey Granite blocks. The stone is cut directly from solid granite and shaped into an upright monument profile, featuring a polished tablet with a softly rounded top and a separate Celtic-style cross positioned on the left. The cross incorporates intricate interlaced knot patterns, a circular central motif and pierced openings between the arms, while the main tablet provides space for cemetery inscriptions, family names and dates.
The SADark Grey Granite headstone panel is precision ground and highly polished to reveal its natural dark grey mineral pattern and reflective surface. The Celtic cross is hand carved with recessed ornamental details and defined raised outlines, requiring controlled carving around the pierced sections to maintain the pattern and preserve sufficient stone thickness. The contrast between the smooth panel and the detailed carved cross gives the monument its distinctive appearance.
The lower granite base incorporates two drilled flower vase holes for memorial flower arrangements. The hole diameter, depth and spacing can be specified according to the intended vases and approved production drawings. The headstone, cross and base are fabricated as coordinated components, with their dimensions and fitting positions checked before packing for outdoor cemetery installation.
As a direct China granite monument manufacturer, we can customize this Hand Carved Cross Monument according to customer dimensions, drawings or reference photographs. Available modifications include overall height and width, headstone thickness, cross profile, Celtic knot patterns, carving depth, base dimensions, vase hole positions and inscription layouts. FOC CAD shop drawings can be prepared before production to confirm the monument proportions and carving details.

SADark Grey Granite
Why choose SADark Grey Granite
SADark Grey Granite is a natural granite characterized by its dark grey background and subtle mineral grain. Its understated colour provides a consistent visual setting for traditional upright monuments, floral carvings and engraved inscriptions. A polished finish brings out the stone's natural texture and creates a smooth, reflective surface, while honed finishes can be specified for a more subdued appearance. Its hardness and suitability for outdoor memorial applications make it a practical choice for cemetery headstones. As a natural stone, colour and grain may vary between blocks and supply batches.
Craftsmanship Inspection & Quality Standards
Granite Selection and Dimensional Control
We inspect the selected granite for visible cracks, open fissures and surface defects before cutting. During fabrication, we check the tablet profile, cross dimensions and base measurements against the approved production drawings. Natural variations in granite colour and mineral pattern are reviewed during material selection, particularly when several monuments are produced for the same order.
01
Tablet Polishing and Surface Finish
We check the polished tablet for visible scratches, uneven gloss, edge chips and inconsistencies around the rounded upper profile. The inscription face is reviewed to ensure that its usable area and proportions match the approved layout. Exposed edges and corners are also inspected before the component moves to final assembly.
02
Hand-Carved Celtic Cross Inspection
Our craftsmen pay particular attention to the interlaced Celtic knotwork, circular centre motif and pierced openings in the cross. During carving, we check the definition of raised and recessed details, the continuity of the carved lines and the finish around each opening. We also inspect narrow connecting sections for visible cracks or chips that could affect the finished appearance or handling strength.
03
Base Drilling and Component Fitting
We check the two vase holes against the confirmed diameter, depth and spacing requirements. Before packing, we verify the relative positions of the cross, tablet and base, along with the contact surfaces and overall alignment. Where dowel pins or other mechanical fixings are specified, their locations are checked against the approved drawings.
04
Final Inspection and Export Packing
Before shipment, we inspect the finished components for dimensional discrepancies, carving defects, surface damage and polishing marks. The monument is cleaned and dried before protective packing materials are applied. We use suitable cushioning and internal supports to protect the polished tablet and the carved cross, with additional protection around the pierced openings and narrow stone sections to reduce the risk of damage during loading and sea transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does SADark Grey Granite perform in outdoor cemetery conditions?
SADark Grey Granite is used for outdoor memorials, including upright headstones and carved monuments. Its suitability for a particular project depends on the stone block, local climate and installation conditions. We select granite for memorial production and check for visible cracks and surface defects before fabrication. For projects in severe climates, available material data can be reviewed before an order is confirmed.
Can you customize the Celtic knot carving without changing the overall cross profile?
Yes. We can customize the Celtic knotwork, central circular motif, border details and carving depth while retaining the main cross outline. Send us a reference photograph, sketch or marked-up design, and we can prepare FOC CAD shop drawings for review. We confirm the design and dimensions with you before production begins.
What drawings do you need to manufacture a customized hand-carved Celtic cross monument?
A reference photograph, sketch or initial dimensions are enough for us to begin discussing your design. Before production, we confirm the tablet size, cross profile, knotwork pattern, base dimensions, vase-hole positions and any specified fixing details. We can provide FOC CAD shop drawings for your approval so the agreed design is documented before cutting and hand carving begin.
Production and packing
Our 5,000+ m² factory brings stone cutting, shaping, carving and finishing together under one roof. Around 60 staff work with industrial cutting and grinding equipment alongside traditional hand-carving techniques to produce granite and marble memorials. From simple profiles to detailed decorative designs, we handle different styles and specifications for custom orders.
To protect the stone during shipping, we wrap each item with foam padding, secure it inside a sturdy wooden crate, and add waterproof plastic film to help guard against moisture and transit damage.
