Tips for buying a headstone monument
Cost, quality and craftsmanship are important when buying a headstone. You need to set a budget first, before you began looking.
Granite is a common and affordable choice for a headstone. It is durable, and can be constructed into a variety of sizes and designs. Other popular choices are marble and granite.
View the work of different monument building companies, and observe their craftsmanship. Compare skill and prices, and choose the best among them. You should know the cemetery regulations before making a decision. Go with a reputable company that can meet the standards established by the cemetery.
Once you have chosen a company, discuss what you want on the monument. You can include:
