We offer a separate website for importers of gravestones, as their business areas and industry structures differ significantly from those of other natural stone importers. Certification requirements also vary depending on the federal state.

Please contact us if you are interested in certifying your gravestone supply chain. Our goal is to work with retailers so that you can meet the existing demand for certified gravestones.

Fair Stone Partners – Gravestones are dedicated European stonemasons and gravestone importers who align their supply chains according to the requirements of the North Rhine-Westphalia state government. Fair Stone eV is not involved in the trade itself.

Fair Stone eV has been accredited as a certifying body in North Rhine-Westphalia since the end of 2019. Inspections are conducted in accordance with the state government’s specifications (see also Section 4a of the NRW BestG). Since a reduced list of criteria is reviewed and other minimum standards must be met, gravestone partners indicate this by displaying the “Fair Stone Monument” logo shown above.
