Memorials are one of the most important elements of the funeral process for family members and the deceased alike. Family members use memorial stones, plaques, benches, and other memorial objects as focal points for grieving. They visit memorials when they want to feel close to the deceased family member, or to show their respect and love on significant days, like birthdays, wedding anniversaries, or anniversaries of death. Planned in advance, memorial objects also provide the subject of the memorial the comfort of knowing he or she will be remembered long after passing. What kind of memorial is right for you or your lost loved one?
Memorial Stones, Headstones and Markers
Memorial stones, memorial headstones, and memorial markers are the most common types of memorials. Memorial headstones and markers serve the same function as gravestones; they record personal information, such as name, date of birth, and date of death. Memorial stones sometimes bear inscriptions with inspiring or descriptive text about the deceased, such as "Beloved Mother" or "An Inspiration to All." Memorial markers are placed where the remains have been laid to rest, somewhere that was significant to the deceased, or somewhere the family enjoys.
