2016-12-08
When purchasing a gravestone, your monument dealer may show you a
catalog with various styles and designs of gravestones. And then the
dealer will help you choose a design that is best suitable for you. But
you can choose a personalized design for the departed you loved.
Before deciding to buy the headstone, you can also think of a creative
and unique design yourself. You can incorporate intricate details and
artwork to the headstone in order to memorialize the deceased.
Many people usually consider to use rectangular, round, and decorative
corners, cluster of flowers with green foliage on the corner. The
flowers are carved at the top or center like roses, lilies, tulips,
carnations, daisies, etc.
What's more, the designs can represent specific hobbies and interests of
the deceased. For example, you may use a guitar design on the headstone
for a loved one who liked playing music. Other common designs used on
headstones include praying hands, weeping angels, Star of David, open
book, bible, cross, doves, religious emblems, and so on. These symbols
are meaningful and traditional.
If you have a preference for a more modern design, you can get the
gravestone monument made in the shape of a heart, book, scroll, tear
drop, teddy bear, angelic figure, etc. instead of the regular
rectangular shape.
Besides, you may personalize a headstone or tombstone by getting your
favorite photo of the deceased loved one laser etched on the stone.
In addition, you can choose all kinds of color for a monument like
black, blue, green, red, grey, and so on. Plus,you can also select a
nice inscription or epitaph to be engraved on the monument to
memorialize and honor the deceased.
If you are bothered whether the shape and design you select can be used
on the gravestone or not, then we sure that most gravestone materials
can be engraved easily. Sand-blasting is the most popular technique used
for this purpose.
