Vannstein

Natural self-watering for problem-free grave care

Collects rainwater and keeps the built-in plant bed alive—a maintenance-free and respectful memory that you can put your own stamp on.

5 unique properties of Vannstein:

1. Smart water supply: Collects and stores rainwater to ensure the right amount of water for plants, without using valuable drinking water resources.

3. Easy to maintain: With replaceable nameplates and self-watering, everything is arranged for a lasting and aesthetic memory — with reduced maintenance costs.

4. Safety first: The stable construction with built-in water reservoir and planter box provides a safer environment for visitors and employees at the cemetery.

5. Personal and lasting tribute: Beautifully designed in a combination of steel and granite with endless possibilities for personal touch and customization.
