Markers, Monuments, and More: How to Navigate the Purchase of a Memorial

Gain inside information into the importance of preplanning your marker or monuments. Monument design options will be covered. You’ll find out that markers can be enhanced with photographic reproductions in porcelain, steel, or they can be actually laser etched into the granite. You will learn about the different colors of granite available as well as options such as flower vases that can be created from granite or bronze. Then we’ll have to talk about funeral plots because different cemeteries enforce different rules specifying the types of monuments they allow. Many families are upset to learn that after their loved one has passed, they are prevented from having the upright marker they prefer, or they are required to place only an expensive bronze piece.

With the rising interest in cremation, a run-down of what to know about those burial plot options will be revealed. You’ll come away with an awareness of the sometimes unexpected “add on” costs. The more you do now to prepare, preplan, and inform your family, the more peace of mind they will have at a time of loss.
