Why Granite Gravestones Are Better

Print

Gravestones can refer to any headstone, footstone, or grave marker placed upon the ground where someone is buried. The material used when creating a gravestone is important. If you want it to last for generations, then it's best to understand your best options. 

Granite is a top-quality stone that will last for many years to come. Granite is a hard rock that does not break easily. Having such a tough texture helps to prevent chips in your gravestone. After many seasons it will hold up better than many other materials. This makes granite the best choice to buy for your gravestone.

Granite Gravestones Come In A Variety of Colors

Granite Gravestones Are A Better Value

When granite is compared to other materials such as marble, granite is of a better value for your gravestone. Not only is it more durable than marble, but it is also cheaper than it too. Marble gravestones can cost almost double the price of granite. Marble tends to polish faster than granite when exposed to rain, sleet, and snow. The polishing wears down the rock and makes the engraving harder to see.
