In preparation for a family loss, or even for your own future, there are many
decisions that will need to be made. This section of the website is designed to
help guide you through some of the decisions needed.
If you are purchasing a pre-need memorial you may want to check on cemetery
restrictions and all charges associated with your burial plots. There maybe perpetual care
and installation charges you are required to pay for burial plots as well as
your monument depending whether you purchase your plots from a from
a City Cemetery, Privately owned Cemetery or a Country Cemetery. Some of the cemeteries
may have restrictions in regards to what style and size of monument you are
allowed to have. If you do want a a certain monument style you may want to
check
on the cemetery restrictions before the purchase of the plot. Grassland
Memorials' knowledgeable memorial consultants would be happy to assist you in
understanding any cemetery restrictions and or regulations.
When purchasing a memorial for a spouse you usually have the option of either a
double monument for both you and your spouse or you could purchase a single
monument, which would accomodate only his or her name.
You may have the option of an upright style monument or a pillow style monument.
Color is another choice you will have; there are many beautiful colors to pick
from. In our showroom we have several varieties on display.
Shape: you may choose a traditional style or something a little different. We
specialize in custom designing your monument to suit you as an individual and do
not mass-produce designs.
Inscriptions and artwork are a big decision to make. If you can give our
consultants your ideas, we can turn them into a perfect memorial for your family
by use of our modern monumental design program. We are able to provide you with
several proofs that you and your family may view before you make your final
decision. This will give you peace of mind knowing you have made your own
decision in a comfortable atmosphere.
You can purchase
something traditional in shape or something more unique in shape. Cemetery memorials range from simple flat, beveled or slant markers that lie on
the ground, to elaborate multi piece upright monuments. Some memorials may
include crosses, statues, pictures, vases and remembrance lamps.
Most memorials are made from granite. This stone is durable, reasonably priced,
and available in a wide range of colors. Granite comes in different qualities,
some which may not be suitable for cemetary memorials. A reputable memorial
builder will be able to show you fine quality granites that will accept
different styles of lettering and design work. Be sure to look at quality,
finish, guarantee, design as well as size, if you are comparing prices.
