Cemetery Regulations & Your Memorial: A Guide To The Perfect Finish
When selecting a memorial headstone, it’s crucial to ensure your tribute aligns with your vision and the cemetery’s regulations. Here’s a thoughtful guide to help you navigate your choices:
Finish: A polished headstone requires regular upkeep to maintain its appearance, whereas an unpolished headstone offers a low-maintenance, natural and subdued alternative.
Suitability: A polished finish is more suitable for modern cemeteries, while a pitched finish, with its aged appearance, complements traditional cemeteries with grace and dignity.
Inscriptions: Add a personal touch to your chosen memorial design by including a personal message, religious text or comforting verse that can bring solace during the grieving process.
