When a loved one passes away, their family is faced with many choices, including funeral, place of burial, cremation, or full burial, and eventually what type and style of method of memorializing their loved one in their final resting place. What is the best way to purchase a memorial?
There are several methods of obtaining a memorial; in many instances a funeral home will offer headstone or marker as part of a package included in the casket purchase and memorial service. Although convenient, this is not always an optimal method, as a family is usually still in a state of duress of depression and not ready to engage in the selection and design of a grave marker or monument. Further, the price can be much higher when purchased in this manner.
There are several other outlets to purchase a memorial; local Craftsmen have been making granite memorials for 100’s of years in northern California, and this time-honored tradition lives on in present day. Much to the benefit of the family, the internet has enabled more competition, and ultimately more selection at a lower price via competition. Monument companies exist in every city to serve the needs of families that wish to memorialize their loved one with a grave marker whether is a flat, bevel, slant, ledger of upright style. With a wide variety of colors shapes and sizes, Granite is the most popular material of which markers, headstones and monuments are crafted. Bronze flat Markers are also very popular and are known for long life and durability. Bronze Markers come in many sizes and shapes, and with modern technology can incorporate a variety of personal life memories captured in photographs and cast in three dimension. Bronze and Granite can be used concurrently to form a hybrid style, a very elegant expression of two materials.
Before the internet and mass advertising, literally all headstone and monument companies were restricted to selling to and servicing a regional clientele. Usually, a headstone or Marker manufacturer was located within close proximity to a cemetery to facilitate advertising.
