Buying a Headstone is something you may do only once in your life. You will be purchasing a Cemetery Monument that
will last through the ages to commemorate the life of someone special, someone whom you love dearly. It is a
purchase that should be made with great care and consideration. There are many things you should know before you
purchase a headstone so that you may be assured this important investment meets your needs and desires.

Choosing a Monument Retailer
Choosing a monument retailer can be a difficult task. An established monument retailer with an honest reputation
should be chosen. They should be a "full service" retailer, meaning that memorials should be their main business, not
an add-on to some other business they do. The monument retailer should be able to provide you with a wide range of
choices for headstones so that you may select the right headstone for you and your family. The monument retailer
should work with you to create a Cemetery Monument that is unique and beautiful. When looking for a monument
retailer, inquire about work guarantees. You will want to have a retailer that will stand by their work for years to come

Cemetery Regulations
There are many cemeteries and almost as many regulations. In order to determine what type of Headstone you can
have, you need to first determine what the cemetery will allow. Your monument retailer can help you determine what a
cemetery will allow.

Types of Headstones
Cemetery Headstones come in a variety of shapes, styles and sizes. Some traditional options are upright, slant, and
flush. Uprights provide the most room for inscriptions and stand straight up. Slants have a slanted edge where the
inscription is carved. Flush markers are grave markers that can be laid flat on the ground. You can customize any of
these shapes to fit your needs.

Personalization
The type and color of the material is the first decision you will want to make. Granite is the most commonly used
material for memorials because it will virtually last forever. Granite comes in many colors. Bronze is called the eternal
metal, and can be used for grave markers . There are many different ways to personalize headstones. You can use
religious or fraternal symbols. Flowers are also popular. Scenes, portraits, autographs or your own design can also be
used to personalize the memorial. We specialize in personalized Cemetery monuments so please let us know what we
