Choosing A Material
One of the first steps in designing a headstone is choosing a memorable headstone. The material will typically differ depending on the design and inscription. Two of the most frequently used materials include granite and marble. Both materials are durable and provide the option for a wide range of designs and inscriptions.
Inscriptions
Choosing an inscription for a headstone or memorial plaque can be challenging. Writing down or discussing a range of different ideas for inscriptions can be a good starting point. It can also be helpful to discuss the various options with a headstone company. Whether you choose a bible verse or a personal quote or another inscription adding a personal epitaph to a headstone can be a powerful step in creating a place to remember and celebrate the life of your loved one. Different inscriptions vary significantly and seeing this variety can be helpful in deciding on the inscription you choose.
Shape & Size
The shape & size chosen in a headstone design will typically depend on the burial site. The different options for headstones can be discussed with a headstone company. At Stewarton Memorials, we understand that when choosing a headstone there is a wide number of other arrangements that are being made.
