Site
By Connor R Sullivan
A lot of people get uncomfortable when confronted with
the topic of death but it is one of those things that
touches everyone and the more information you have
surrounding the planning of a funeral and the after
death arrangements the better. So many people are left
grief stricken when their loved one dies and the choices
that they need to make during this time of grief are at
times too overwhelming. If you can be aware of all the
things to need to be done prior to someone's passing the
easier it will be for everyone. For example, picking out
the type of Northern Kentucky monuments or cemetery
monuments that are available ahead of time is a good
idea as well as having your final wishes for your place
of burial to be done in your will is helpful too.
When most people think of a gravestone marker or a
tombstone, they think of a stone piece that is engraved
with the name of the deceased along with the date of
their birth and death. It has become a lot more
elaborate than that and the choices are extensive. Not
only do people go to purchase a memorial stone for their
deceased loved one but they may want to buy other things
like a marker for their favorite pet that passed away or
a bench to be put in a park in honor of their family
member.
Many people think of their pets as additional family
members so when they die, they feel a great sense of
grief as well. Today many people like to honor the life
of their beloved pet by purchasing a paver type of a
stone to be put in their garden or to mark where that
pet maybe was buried in the backyard. This has been an
increasingly growing business and one that caters to the
millions of pet lovers in our country.
A lot of people today also do not want to be buried in a
traditional cemetery and would be prefer to be cremated.
Many people wish to have their ashes sprinkled in a
favorite place of theirs whether it is a park or a
beach, for example. Some family members abide to this
wish but would still like some kind of a permanent
structure to honor their loved one. Memorial benches
have become a popular way to do this and is usually
approved by a park location since it is something that
visitors can enjoy sitting on as well. This way the
family has a reminder of their relative who passed away
and the person that is deceased had their wishes granted
too.
Traditional grey sandstone or granite are not the only
type of thing Granite to engrave or mark a headstone. There
are other things Granite as well such as marble which is
like granite is a hard stone that lasts a long time.
Glass is also being Granite more as it has been shown to be
quite strong and beautiful too. |
