from €276,00 to €652,00 incl. VAT · variants: 8 · in stock
Glass heart – a decoration for a headstone made by fusing ultra-clear glass, with the pattern painted on from the inside. Fired in the kiln, the heart takes on its own shape and depth of colour, and the pattern stays clearly visible. It can be made one-sided, to be bonded onto the memorial, or two-sided, to be built into an opening prepared for it.
This product is made for stonemasons. If you need it in a size other than those listed below, please contact us so that we can agree the dimensions and the price.

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 rather than transparent – once it is fixed, the tablet behind it cannot be seen.
Fixed on or built in
A heart or a cross is fixed to the face of the tablet or set into a recess cut in it – the headstone design decides which.
Glass heart to decorate a headstone, streaked gold
The streaked gold glass heart to decorate a headstone is made by hand from kiln-fused glass. The gold heart has vertical gold and white streaks and is fully opaque. The heart is not transparent: the one-sided version is bonded onto the stone tablet, and the two-sided version is set into the tablet.
Product description
The glass heart is made of clear, fused glass, which is what makes it possible to give it the right shape and size. Each heart is made by hand in our workshop, with the pattern and the colour applied so that the pattern shows very clearly — but the heart itself is not transparent and does not let light through.
That is why it can be made one-sided, to be bonded onto the stone tablet with a flexible adhesive, or two-sided (two hearts joined together), which shows the pattern beautifully from the front and from the back of the memorial once it is set into a slab prepared with an opening for it.
The heart comes in 4 different sizes, and in some cases we can make it in other, bespoke dimensions to suit a particular stonemason’s workshop.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to make a heart?
A glass heart for a headstone usually takes three to six weeks to make, depending on the format and on how much work the glass needs.
Is the heart transparent?
No. The heart is not transparent. On the inside it carries a painted colour pattern, which takes away its transparency and, once the heart is bonded to the memorial, hides the stone tablet behind it.
Will the piece be sent by courier?
Yes. Smaller formats go out by standard courier.
How is the glass heart mounted on the headstone?
How it is mounted depends on the design of the memorial. The heart can be:
bonded on with a suitable adhesive, or
set (built in) between stone slabs.
Whichever method you choose, use materials that absorb the stresses that build up at low temperatures, such as flexible adhesives.
Can you make the decoration in another shape?
Yes. From a technical drawing you send us we can make a circle, a cross, decorative strips or any other shape.
Work like this is prepared together with the stonemason’s workshop and is quoted individually every time.
Do you need a heart or 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
