Have you recently lost a loved one, and are looking for a unique headstone to mark their final resting place? How about a custom-designed headstone that truly reflects the life and memory of your loved one? With the advancement in technology, you can now personalize a headstone by adding personal photos, custom epitaphs and inscriptions, special lettering, or personalized farewell messages from family or friends.
Material
Be sure that you select a headstone that is made from a sturdy material that is capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions. Some people prefer bronze headstones, but they are not weather resistant and are prone to rusting. There is no point investing a lot of money into a headstone that is going to last only a few years, and must be eventually be replaced. The most durable and longest-lasting material for a headstone is Granite. Headstones made of Granite are elegant and beautiful. Granite headstones are created by using either the traditional method of engraving by Sandblasting or the Laser method of engraving. If a laser engraved headstone is what you are looking for, then our premium Black Granite is the ideal material
Lettering
Once you have selected a head stone design and material, you will have to decide upon the message, epitaph or lettering for the gravestone. When you want to have a personalized inscription on the headstone, choosing the most suitable one can be a task in itself. Choose words that befit the deceased and expresses your sentiment in the best way possible. Price
The amount of money you want to spend is entirely up to you. Of course, the more extravagant and spectacular the monument, the more it will cost. However, if you are looking for granite headstones for sale that won’t break the bank, you can keep the cost down by selecting a headstone with just the basic personal details on it. The price of the headstone is proportionate with its size and the degree of customization request. Custom options will generally incur additional fees such as coring a vase hole in the stone, or adding a vase base and vase to accompany the stone at the burial site. When cost is a considerable factor, then you could opt for having a small headstone with a not-so-elaborate inscription. It is always a good idea to check with your cemetery representative for their input on the size and type of stone allowed. We encourage you to do your homework…ask lots of questions and gather as much information as possible so that you ultimately make a well-informed decision.
