Gravestones: 4 Things to know before purchasing

Gravestones can be produced in many styles and made out of many different materials so finding the right dealer will depend on what you are looking for. A quick search on “Google” should help get you started. Most reputable dealerships will have information and a gallery for you to look at. In making your decision, you may want to consider how many years of experience they have, and whether or not they are local.

Grave Markers Forever Etched in Time

Grave markers will forever mark the resting place of your loved one, etching their remembrance in stone for generations to come. Have you ever thought about what goes into etching memorials, or what makes them last and weather the test of time? There are many techniques used today to create beautiful grave markers, headstones, and monuments. Here a few of the techniques we use to create great quality granite memorials.

Memorial Headstones - Get a Great Deal

When you think of grave markers and other memorial headstones, you may be sold into the idea that you can’t afford high quality. Many families have skipped memorializing a loved one altogether or settled for poor stone quality or unskilled workmanship because they believed that great quality was not an option for them. We want to encourage you and help you to understand and know the options available to you, within your budget.

Gravestones - A Helpful Guide

Gravestones are found worldwide and stand proud in the resting place of a loved one. We have all seen cemeteries and gravestones, however, we rarely talk to our loved ones about what we desire after we have passed. It can be a difficult process to step into, especially if it hasn’t been discussed. We hope to be supportive in your search for a memorial for your loved one, so we have put together a short guide to help you get started. Here are the steps we will take for you in the memorial process.

Headstones that are One of a Kind

Take a second to think about the person you are going to memorialize. No matter who it is, we can all agree...they were one of a kind. They endured hardships, they embraced loved ones, they were molded into someone that is unique, and different than anyone else you have known. Headstones and other memorials should be the same...one of a kind. After all, it is in honor of someone that is one of a kind.

Grave Markers to Last

What goes into grave markers, and what will make it last? You may have no idea what is available, or even where to start looking when it comes to purchasing a grave marker. There are plenty of options, and many dealers to choose from, but what makes a quality and lasting monument? You may find yourself a little overwhelmed by all the choices. We hope to help you understand why granite grave markers are made to last.

Cemetery Headstone - Choosing the Right One

After you suffer loss there is no easy way to move forward. There are no set rules on how to grieve, and there most definitely is no right or wrong way to get through it. Everyone goes through the process a little differently, and at their own pace, so choosing a cemetery headstone for a memorial celebration comes at different times also. We want to express to you not to feel rushed or hurried along. Yes, it is important to take steps toward memorializing your loved one, but not before you are ready. When you and your family have come to a place of acceptance after your loved ones passing, it is a safe time to start the process of choosing a cemetery headstone.
