How it works
-
01
Upload a photo
Any clear photo where the face is visible. Old prints are fine: photograph them in daylight, without glare.
-
02
Choose the stone
Pick the shape, granite, lettering and epitaph. The preview changes as you go.
-
03
Save and share
Download the image to agree on the design with family, or take it to a local monument workshop.
Your photo stays with you
The preview is drawn entirely in your browser. Photos are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone — there is no server to send them to.
FAQ
Questions
Is this a real order?
No. Katafalk only shows what a headstone could look like. The stone itself is made by a monument workshop, which will advise on granite, size and engraving.
Which photo works best?
A front-facing portrait with even light, where the face fills a good part of the frame. Use Zoom and drag the portrait to frame the face.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens on your device. Once the page has loaded, you could even switch off the internet.
Does it cost anything?
No. Making and downloading previews is free.
Can I use Cyrillic names?
Yes. Every typeface supports both Latin and Cyrillic letters.
