Why Is Granite a Preferred Material For Headstones?
Funeral directors and managers of cemeteries have plenty of different choices when it comes to supplying headstones to mourners. Fieldstone is a popular choice, as is marble and even sandstone in some locations. Non-stone materials that make for good headstones also include bronze, iron and concrete. However, granite should never be overlooked as a particularly good choice for headstones and other types of memorials. Any good granite cemetery monument supplier will be able to provide high-quality headstones that are made to order for the mourning family in question.

About Me
Funerals can bring forth such a range of emotions: melancholy, grief, regret, relief and nostalgia. As an assistant at a funeral parlour, I am privileged to help people with organising their loved one’s final journey. I have learnt that a good funeral parlour can make the occasion truly commemorative. When I attend funerals for friends, I am saddened to see that so many ceremonies are traditional and joyless. I later find out that the family members simply weren’t aware of options such as a graveside memorial service. I love the fact that one of my tasks involves showing family members various venues and demonstrating what can be done. In this humble little blog, I hope to make it my mission to share some of the ideas – big and small – from the best funerals I have seen. Perhaps it will give you some inspiration at a difficult time. Bless.
