Headstones

What is a Headstone?

A headstone, also called a gravestone or tombstone, marks the final resting place of someone who has passed away. It often includes their name, dates of birth and death, and sometimes a special message or design that reflects their life. Headstones are a way to remember and pay tribute to the people we love.

Types of Headstones

There are different types of headstones to choose from, depending on your preferences and the style you want for your loved one's final resting place.

Upright Headstones: 

These stand tall above the ground and provide plenty of space for personal messages, designs, and artwork. They are often made of materials like granite, bronze, or marble and come in various shapes and sizes.

Flat Headstones: 

Also known as grass markers, these lie flat on the ground. They are simple and cost-effective, making them popular for many families. Flat headstones for graves are usually rectangular, 3-4 inches thick, and polished on the top.

Choosing the Right Headstone

Selecting the proper headstone is an important decision. Here are a few things to consider when choosing:

●  Material:  the Right Headstone

Granite is one of the most popular choices because it's durable and comes in many colors. Other materials like bronze and marble are also available.

●  Design: 

You can personalize the headstone with symbols, meaningful words, or artwork representing your loved one's personality and life.

●  Size and Shape: 

Make sure the headstone follows any guidelines set by the cemetery regarding size and design.
