Memorial statue and angel for a grave — a gift that remains

When you look for a grave statue, an angel figurine or a memorial piece, you want something dignified, lasting and personal — not just decoration. At the 3DShop.si workshop in Črnomelj we make memorial statues and angels for graves as well as custom statues from a photo. This article covers what to choose, pricing and how to order.

Why a memorial statue instead of flowers alone?

Fresh flowers are a beautiful gesture, but they fade quickly. A memorial statue or angel stays on the grave for weeks and months — at every visit it reminds you of the person you miss.

• It lasts — PETG material and a protective lacquer are suitable for outdoor use.
• It is dignified — classic figures (Mary, angel, cross) fit funeral tradition.
• It can be personal — custom from a photo or with an inscription on the base.
• It is also a gift — families often order a statue as a shared memorial gift.

Which memorial statues do we offer?

Angel figurines

An angel in prayer with open wings or a seated angel with a crown — the most common choice for family graves. Height around 12 cm, price from €29. Colours: bronze, silver or white.

Mary and religious figurines

Mary (~15 cm, from €39) is a symbol of protection and comfort. Crosses and custom religious figures are also available. For a larger format see also Mary 50 cm.

Custom statues from a photo

If you want a portrait of a loved one as a memorial statue for home or the grave, we make a custom 3D statue from a photo — from €39 (Mini package). More in the 3D statue price list.

Figurines from your own sketch or description

Mary, Jesus, an angel, a cross or another religious figure from your sketch — from €49. Before printing we send a 3D preview for approval. Full catalogue: memorial statues.

Ideas for the inscription on the base

A short inscription makes the statue more personal. A few examples:

• "In memory of Ana (1948–2026)"
• "Always in our thoughts."
• "Rest in peace."
• "From the family — with love."

An inscription can be added to the base on custom statues. For catalogue figurines we agree when you order.

How much does a memorial statue cost?

• Angel — from €29 — classic grave figurine.
• Mary — from €39 — larger religious figurine.
• From your own design — from €49 — sketch, description or reference.
• Custom 3D statue from a photo — from €39 — Mini / Classic / Premium.

Prices include 3D printing, hand painting, protective lacquer and delivery across Slovenia. Details: memorial statues page.

When to order and what outdoor use requires

Catalogue figurines are ready in 7–10 days, custom designs in 10–21 days. We recommend ordering at least 2–3 weeks before an anniversary or All Saints' Day.

PETG is tougher than PLA and suitable outdoors — with UV lacquer it handles rain and sun better. The figurine is not stone: it is lighter to handle, but durable when placed normally on a grave.
