Stone Memorials

While this topic isn't always viewed as a happy one, it is a fact of life and when it comes to losing someone you love it is nice to have options to honor their life. Through research of my own I've come to learn that more and more people are being cremated. In fact the numbers are about 70%. I was personally surprised to hear the numbers were that high. I had thought that more people were buried still. Then I thought about the Memorial stones that I've made and some of the things people would say when ordering them. They would say things like, funeral homes are SOOO expensive. The burial, coffin, headstone, service, and everything else added up to a ton of money! So I looked into it. What I found was that the funeral home is really just a middle man, often called a director, who coordinates all the aspect of a funeral from other vendors. Not to put it lightly, but in the construction world they would be like a general contractor. So, they get bids from the coffin manufacturer, headstone engraving, etc and then add on their fees to make money (typically double!) People who are cremated often don't have a traditional headstone, and sometimes nothing at all. We have found great joy in providing an option for those who wish to honor their loved ones with a natural stone Memorial. Our Memorial stones can be moved easily and can be placed within that special place amongst your garden so they will be with you always in spirit. All of our Memorial stones are made to the same standards used with traditional headstones, in regards to the quality of stone engraving and memorial grade paint so you will know that your tribute will be a lasting one.
