Lantern gravestones - Kivilähde

A lantern adds atmosphere to a gravestone. The stone’s structure shelters the candle, allowing it to burn even in strong winds. In sunlight, the glass casts beautiful golden yellow light by itself, without a candle. Lantern frames can be personalised by choosing a suitable combination of various colour and decoration options. You can also add a separate bronze or aluminium lantern on a base stone or a separate post.
