Placing a monument or headstone in memory of your loved one can serve several important purposes. The process of personally designing a monument to represent your loved one, the purchase, and the installation, can assist survivors in processing their grief and getting through the difficult transition period in which families or friends adjust to the loss.
Grief experts strongly advise that even those who scatter cremated remains have a monument installed to permanently memorialize loved ones. It provides a place for loved ones to visit, and a place to indicate that a life was lived.
Monuments also serve a more far-reaching function. Monuments and cemeteries are the primary visible link between the past, present, and future. They are practically the only artifacts that survive for generations outside of a museum. A vital part of our culture and heritage, they are fundamental reminders of who we are and where we originate from.
Most monuments are made from either bronze or granite and there is a wide variety of options available to suit different placement situations. Monuments can also be personalized to reflect who your loved one was.
In an ever-evolving world, many people are searching for their roots and a feeling of belonging. Monuments can help provide a sense of heritage and provide factual evidence, acting as a ‘time capsule’ from the past. The information that can be gathered from monuments that have personalized inscriptions is a tremendous asset to this important search.
