Will cemeteries soon leave behind the somber gray of tradition? As personalization becomes a growing priority in how we honor loved ones, people are seeking new ways to express individuality in their final farewell. Rokstyle, the award-winning designer brand from Germany, is answering this demand with its unique collection of urns and gravestones—now launching in the United Kingdom.
Transforming Memorials Since 2013
Launched in 2013 with the motto “Forever Beautiful,” Rokstyle offers a new aesthetic for memorial products, combining the highest quality materials like stainless steel emblems, Swarovski crystals, and beautifully crafted glass inlays. Each urn and gravestone becomes a bespoke work of art, designed to reflect the individual’s life and legacy. More than just a memorial, each piece is composed of love, ideas, and words, ensuring the memory of a lost loved one is preserved in a unique and meaningful way.
Over 30 top-class, international awards recognize Rokstyle’s innovation and craftsmanship. Beyond its visual appeal, the brand is also committed to sustainability, reflected in its nomination for the European Green Award, which honors sustainable excellence across Europe.
A Growing Demand for Unique Burials
As new trends in burial methods emerge—whether through turning ashes into diamonds, space burials, or even tree burials—it’s clear that the desire for more personalized and meaningful memorials is on the rise. With this in mind, Goldfarben Ltd, headed by Grant Penfield, will bring Rokstyle’s innovative products to the UK market starting December 1, 2024. Initially, designer urns and grave decorations will be available alongside Goldfarben’s premium natural stone paints, a key element in Rokstyle’s product range across Europe.
Meeting High Expectations in Memorial Design
Rokstyle CEO Alexander Hanel expressed his excitement about the expansion: “Our success with Rokstyle has proven us right. With this completely new concept, we want to offer the bereaved special grave products that meet high, individual demands. We are very proud to now be active on the ground in the UK.”
Goldfarben Ltd will be responsible for the distribution of Rokstyle products throughout the UK, operating from their headquarters in Stamford, Lincolnshire.
