Vitae Memoriam was founded by Kathleen Marien (read about who we are).

She found an ink company and a kiln manufacturer who could help and began producing test pieces using special inks which could withstand the 900 degree heat of the kiln.

During the following months inks were further modified and kiln settings developed so that exact reproduction of the digital original could be guaranteed. The equipment could be easily and regularly calibrated to the high standards demanded by the professional digital graphics industry from which Kathleen came.

Once satisfied, Kathleen invested in the equipment, and with her obvious graphical talent produced many and varied samples then designed a beautiful and tasteful brochure, she sub contracted a website designer to produce a site based upon the brochure and found a nice modern premises in which to work.

Work began only a year ago and as well as the stonemason who she originally contacted she has 60 others in the small country of Belgium giving over 300 orders a week to Vitae Memoriam.
