Founded in 1980 and operating under the registered identity of Uçar Mermer Mühendislik since 1994, the enterprise specializes in natural stone craftsmanship, cemetery masonry, architectural landscaping, and grave construction. Based in Istanbul and offering services via kabristan.net, the company holds official authorization for municipal cemetery operations throughout Istanbul and Tekirdağ. Combining decades of stonemasonry experience with engineering precision, the company provides enduring, dignified resting places and memorial installations.
Cemetery Construction and Stone Masonry
The company handles raw natural stone with advanced stone-cutting and surface-finishing techniques to create structures that endure varying climate patterns. A broad spectrum of burial site solutions is offered to meet varied structural preferences and budgets:
• Marble graves: Finely finished structures utilizing classical white marble, offering traditional aesthetics and refined block assemblies.
• Granite graves: Highly resilient burial monuments crafted from dense granite varieties that resist surface staining, weathering, and moisture penetration.
• Hybrid granite and marble models: Architectural blends combining contrasting textures and hues of both natural stones.
• Terrazzo mosaic graves: Sturdy and cost-effective cast mosaic options suited for enduring cemetery conditions.
• Sarcophagus style installations: Multi-tier, solid stone encasements engineered for structural stability and ground protection.
Custom Design and Project Planning
Recognizing that memorial construction requires accurate structural assessment, Uçar Mermer provides detailed grave drafting and engineering project design. Each plot is evaluated for soil leveling, ground slope, and perimeter foundations. The technical team establishes correct wall thicknesses, iron-reinforced bases, and anchorage systems, effectively preventing structural shifts, tilting, or subsidence over the years.
Accessories, Headstones, and Commemorative Works
To ensure a complete and aesthetically coherent memorial, the firm manufactures a wide assortment of stone accessories and sculptural elements:
• Memorial headstones: Precisely carved natural stone grave markers, tailored with personalized calligraphic inscriptions and architectural contours.
• Granite laser engraving and porcelain portraits: Laser-etched memorial imagery directly applied to polished granite, as well as weather-resistant, kiln-fired porcelain photos.
• Stone vases, water bowls, corner pillars, and grates: Integrated marble and granite water basins for birds, floral planters, corner boundary pillars, and surrounding protective grates.
• Public charity fountains: Custom-built stone fountains and memorial charity taps erected inside cemeteries or public grounds.
• Busts and commemorative monuments: Customized sculptural busts and memorial monuments designed for personal or institutional tributes.
Restoration, Stone Whitening, and Grave Maintenance
Exposure to rain, winter frost, moss, and atmospheric pollution naturally takes a toll on existing burial sites. Uçar Mermer addresses these issues through structured cemetery restoration. Specialized stone-whitening processes restore darkened and stained marble surfaces to their original tone without damaging the natural material. Maintenance packages also include renewing faded inscriptions with weather-proof stone paints, joint sealing, structural crack repairs, fresh soil top-ups, seasonal floral planting, and continuous grave upkeep across cemeteries in Istanbul and Tekirdağ.
