The Importance of the Headstones and
Monuments
By Sam Mapes
Headstones are typically used as the memorial of any
person who has passed away to serve as a remembrance of
their life. This stone is usually installed in a chosen
cemetery and this is mainly done as the identification
mark since there are many people resting in the same
cemetery. There are many designs available for all types
of these stones and it would be best to go through
designs in websites so that you might get an idea on
this stone design you must select while placing the
order. It is natural that no one thinks about these
stones unless someone is in the later stages of life or
if a loved one has just passed away.

people choose to plan ahead? This stone can be ordered
and set on a cemetery plot in advance without a death
date engraved. This can be done by contacting the chosen
cemetery, and a headstone company on the internet or
locally to select this stone type and design. Many
families have already selected their final resting place
and loved ones who discuss these decisions can call the
cemetery to make sure all the procedures can be carried
out with regards to the shipping and installation of

should also be given on the size and the letters that
must be imprinted on the this stone. It would be wise to
also ask your cemetery directly about the correct
requirements regarding the size of the stone that is
allowed in the cemetery along with the installation
procedures and also the materials that can be used in
