From family memories to career accomplishments, there are many ways you can make an impact in the world during your lifetime. However, it’s also important to think about how you will leave your mark after you’ve departed. By ordering a custom memorial before you pass, you’re designing a clear legacy. Consider the following reasons to take this approach. 

Why You Should Invest in a Custom Memorial Ahead of Time

1. Fit Your Preferences

Monuments, memorials, and markers come in all shapes, materials, and sizes. When you order ahead of time, you’ll have room to carefully consider the options and choose one that best fits your personality. Once you know the measurements and materials you want to use, select the design features that best reflect your life, including personal photographs, religious symbols, and engraved patterns.  

2. Verify Information

Basic cemetery engravings will usually have the name of the deceased and the years during which they lived. However, there are many more details that can be incorporated on a custom memorial. As a pre-need customer, you’ll be able to choose the message you want on the grave marker. When the memorial manufacturer finishes the proof, you’ll also be able to verify all the information is correct and to your liking. If you’re not around to provide these details, surviving family members may not know what words to put or if everything is accurate.

3. Financial Flexibility

One advantage of ordering a memorial before your own burial is the entire purchase may not be needed upfront. You’ll have the option to make monthly payments that better fit your budget. Paying in installments ahead of time can also save your loved ones from the burden of having to cover the costs last-minute.
