FAQ About Selecting a Memorial 

Which Type of Stone Should I Choose? 

There are numerous stone materials and colors to choose from. You will need to factor in the location of the grave site and the different elements the memorial will be exposed to. It’s also important to consider the lettering you prefer and how much maintenance each material requires.  

Will the Location of the Memorial Impact the Design? 

Many churchyards and cemeteries have strict regulations regarding the kind of the memorials they allow to be placed on their property. Generally, these stipulations refer to the stone a memorial is made from, the actual design, and the wording that can be inscribed. It’s likely your proposed design will require a submission for approval. 

What Can Be Put on a Memorial? 

Taking churchyard and cemetery rules into consideration, there is unlimited potential for what you can include on a memorial. They can be customized for simplicity or details; go with whatever you feel is fitting to the deceased’s personality. The company you decide to work with will help you create a unique, eye-catching representation of your loved one’s life.
