Memorial markers show respect to loved ones and make it possible for their memories to live on indefinitely. Choosing a marker is never easy because it is an emotional purchase and there are so many decisions to make. Experts recommend that everyone take the time they need to make the right choice. Here are some tips to help make the decision a little easier.
* Be aware of the cemetery guidelines before purchasing any marker or memorial item for a grave. Some restrict the type of material, the size and the personal decorations that are allowed.
* Choose a budget for the marker and request pricing charts from the memorial company. This helps to narrow down the options before too much time is spent planning a marker that is out of the budget range. Some families may even realize they can afford to add more than they expected.
* Decide what information is important for the marker – Images of angels, flowers or other designs may be desired. Some people add Bible phrases or poetry. Adding photographs of the individual is also a popular option today. Narrowing down exactly what is wanted will help to determine the size of the stone needed.
* Choose the material – Most markers and headstones are made from granite because of its durability. Additional possibilities include limestone, marble, and sandstone. Another option is to use
* Bronze Memorials in CT – These plates have all the information etched onto their surface and are mounted on a granite base. They are gaining popularity because they look elegant, are easy to clean and are incredibly durable.
