Red asymmetric glass cross for a headstone
from €733,00 to €890,00 incl. VAT · variants: 7 · in stock
A red asymmetric cross in fused glass, made to order to the size of the particular headstone tablet. Every cross is made individually, to the dimensions and details of the particular headstone, so it keeps a character of its own, a striking depth of colour and an even, smooth glass surface. The textured pattern of the cross stays clearly visible, and its surface catches the sunlight, which emphasises the modern, elegant look of the headstone. This cross is made as a single-sided version, to be fixed straight onto the face of the stone.
This product is supplied to the memorial trade. If you need it in a size other than those listed in the configurator, contact us to agree individual dimensions and a quotation.

Kiln-fused glass
The glass is fired in a kiln until it fuses into a single body, which gives each piece its shape, its thickness and a pattern of its own.
Hand-painted pattern
In the colour versions the pattern is painted on the inner face of the glass and stays clearly visible.
The stone stays hidden
The glass is opaque – once it is fixed, the tablet behind it cannot be seen.
Fixed with adhesive
This cross is bonded – onto the face of the tablet or into a recess cut into it.
Glass cross for a headstone
An asymmetric cross in fused glass, bonded straight onto the main tablet of the headstone. The red is a colour fired into the glass, not a coating laid on top – in full sun it glows deeply, and against black granite it gives the strongest contrast in the whole range.
The cross is made from fused glass with a hand-worked decorative pattern. The colours chosen and the texture of the glass make the surface catch the sunlight, so the colours become more intense and the decoration gains a pronounced depth.
Features of the glass cross
The asymmetric cross is made by hand in our own workshop, using glass fusing. Firing in the kiln gives each piece its shape, its size and a character of its own.
The decorative face of the cross is coloured and finished by hand, so the pattern stays clearly visible and holds its strong colour. The glass is opaque, so the pattern stays crisp and the stone tablet behind the cross does not show through.
This cross is bonded in place with a flexible MS-polymer adhesive — either straight onto the face of the stone tablet, or seated first in a recess cut into it. We do not build it in between two stone tablets.
The glass crosses come in several standard sizes, to suit headstone tablets 60 cm wide in a range of heights. That makes it easy for a memorial mason to choose the right size for a particular headstone design.
Bespoke sizes
Every cross can also be made to an individual size, to suit the design and requirements of the memorial.
If you need the model shown here in a different size, or a cross in entirely non-standard dimensions, contact us. We will help you match the proportions and the dimensions of the piece to the memorial design you have drawn up.

How is a glass cross fixed?
The method of fixing depends on the headstone design. The drawing shows six ways of fixing glass to a headstone. This cross is fitted the first two ways — always bonded, either onto the face of the tablet or into a recess cut into it.
- A Fixed with a flexible MS-polymer adhesive straight onto the face of the tablet
- B Seated in a recess cut into the face of the tablet, then bonded in place
Whichever method of fixing you choose, use a fixing that allows for movement in cold weather, such as a flexible MS-polymer adhesive.
Frequently asked questions
How long does an asymmetric glass cross for a headstone take to make?
An asymmetric glass cross usually takes three to six weeks to make, depending on the size of the cross and the amount of handwork involved.
Is the cross transparent?
No. This cross does not let light through. The coloured pattern is painted on the back of the glass, which takes the light transmission away, and once the cross is fixed to the headstone it hides the stone tablet behind it.
How do I order a cross for a headstone?
Ordering is straightforward. Place the order through our online shop, or contact us and we will place it for you. We can also make the cross to other dimensions, a different height or a different arm width for example – once this has been agreed and quoted.
Do you send the crosses by courier?
Smaller sizes are sent by standard courier. Larger sizes have to go by a specialist pallet carrier, or we can deliver them ourselves.
How is the decorative cross fixed to the headstone?
This cross is bonded to the stone tablet with a suitable flexible MS-polymer adhesive — either straight onto its face, or seated first in a recess cut into it. It is not made to be built in between two stone tablets.
For bonding, use a fixing that allows for movement in cold weather, such as a flexible MS-polymer adhesive.
Can you make the decoration in another shape?
Yes. As well as the asymmetric cross, we can make a circle, a decorative heart, a symmetrical cross or any other bespoke shape to a technical drawing you supply.
Pieces like these are developed with the memorial mason and are always quoted individually.
Do you need a cross in a different size?
Crosses are matched as standard to headstone tablets 60 cm wide, but we make every piece to the dimensions given by the memorial mason – including small decorations about 10–15 cm wide. From a technical drawing we can prepare a circle, a heart, a symmetrical cross or decorative strips; work of this kind is quoted individually. Contact us.
We also prepare quotes for non-standard work by e-mail: biuro@deseomemorials.com
