Garden Memorial Stones - Pay Tribute
to Loved Ones
By Dave Gorski
Losing someone close to you is often a painful
experience. People find different ways to comfort
themselves at a time of loss. Some people have found
that adding a garden memorial stone in honor of the
loved one helps to ease the sense of loss. There are no
hard and fast rules to the form a memorial stone must
take. There is a great deal of variety of stones
available form different suppliers. It is important to
find the right one, since this will be a long lasting
tribute.
Presenting someone with a memorial stone as a gift is a
unique way to express condolences. Rather than sending
flowers that will die within a few days, a stone
memorial will last for years. Choosing a simple stone
with an expressive sentiment carved onto it can be a
moving gift. Most distributors will be able to
personalize the garden memorial stone to give the gift
greater significance and impact. The recipient will
treasure the gift and the chance to remember the lost
loved one with the garden memorial.
Not all garden stones are made equally. Not all garden
stones are made of stone. Depending on your needs you
may prefer one of the products that look like stone and
hold up well to outdoor conditions. Fabricated stone
tends to be lighter than natural stone which can help
with shipping costs. A fabricated garden memorial stone
will provide as much comfort as natural stone in helping
to remember the loved one.
Find the perfect spot for your memorial by choosing
somewhere that the stone can be viewed by visitors.
Placing it near a bench is ideal. In some instances, you
may wish to create a new place in the garden for the
memorial. Some people will plant the person's favorite
flowers near the stone. Others may choose to place the
garden memorial stone near a water fountain. Still
others will plant an assortment of plants and flowers
that will attract butterflies and hummingbirds to
celebrate life, even in the face of death. There are
many ways to create a peaceful setting that will do
justice to the memorial. It is all a matter of taking
some time to choose the right memorial stone and setting
it in the right place in the garden. |
