Gravestones: A Family Guide

It can be so difficult to find a starting point when looking for gravestones and other memorial stones. It is our goal to help shed some light on the process of finding, choosing, and creating gravestones or other monuments. We hope to give you some comfort and confidence in a hard time. Searching for a memorial isn’t easy, and most of us aren't very experienced in the searching process.

Headstones: Making the Memorial

When you and your family are in search of a quality memorial, it’s important to know that not all headstones are made with the same quality and care as you may hope or imagine. You will find many options available when you begin your search. You might be wondering if buying online is a better option, or if you should search out a quality provider. So...what is behind the making of good quality headstones, and where can you go to find them? 

After the loss of a loved one, it can be difficult to decide the best way to memorialize. Many times, cremation makes that even harder. A granite bench memorial might be a great option for the families who choose cremation for their loved one. Often, a small group of family members will choose a favorite place to scatter their loved ones ashes. This is such a beautiful way to say goodbye, but can leave a gap for other family members. This is because there is no resting place for a loved one to visit. A granite bench memorial can be a second way to honor your loved ones memory, and give a place to re-visit and find clarity and peace.

Grave markers can be found in a vast variety of sizes, shapes, styles, and even vary in the material which they are constructed from. Today, one of the most popular grave markers found on the market are made of granite. This is because of the durability and elegance that granite has to offer. If your family has decided that granite is the direction you want to go with, you will have plenty of options from there. Standard granite monuments are hardly standard, but can be found in many options. You will be able to choose from standard uprights, bevels, slants, and even granite benches. All can customized in just about any way imaginable.
