Here are some things to consider when planning a memorial purchase...
If you are planning your estate, in addition to pre-arranging your funeral, purchasing your memorial allows you to take an active roll in the design. This important step can be beneficial. Your loved ones know the memorial has been taken care of according to your wishes and is one less decision they have to make during a difficult time.
How many people will this memorial be for? It is important to design a memorial based on the maximum number of people that may be named on it. Failure to plan this when designing a memorial can result in too little space being reserved for future inscriptions.
Most cemeteries have rules regarding what type of memorial you can place on your plot. A quick call to our office can answer this important question for you.
Our "Design Gallery" section will allow you to view a variety of styles and sizes.
Think about the life of your loved one - did they serve in the military, have any hobbies, belong to a civic organization? All of this information can be incorporated into the design through emblems or descriptive text. For couples, the addition of a marriage date showcases a lifetime of love and becomes a part of the family life history.
The addition of a "three dimensional" carving to a flower design can give it a more life-like appearance.
Adding a porcelain cameo or hand etched portrail can further customize the memorial, displaying a visual reminder of your loved one for everyone who visits.
