Specialty Grave Headstones
Cemetery Headstones which have a Theme such as Golfing or HuntingWhen we lose someone in our lives that truly impacted our very being, it is not uncommon to feel the need to memorialize that person in a way that breaks the mold from what is considered 'traditional'. For those looking for a final memorial that will not only catch the memory, but also the eye, a beautiful specialty grave headstone may be of great interest. These beautiful memorials feature shapes, designs, or personalization that offers a completely different appearance than standard markers can provide. The distinguishing features range from highly-detailed etched scenes or portraits, to the addition of beautiful bronze emblems or statues, and even completely distinct shapes, just to name a few. This wonderful collection of upright headstones ensures that the final remembrance created is as remarkable as the loved one it commemorates. As mentioned before, these memorials offer a little something different for any taste or need. Families interested in a memorial that offers the dignity of a traditional headstone, but still wish for it to be truly distinguished, there are a variety of markers to select from. While some of these stones may seem traditional, especially in shape, the method used to personalize the memorial is often a little more modern than the final appearance may let on. The methods used to personalize these elegant memorials have evolved greatly, offering us a vast array of options never available before. Diamond etching, for example, allows us to capture exquisite details that were not possible with older methods, such as sandblasting. While this etching method only works on very dark colored stones, it produces images that appear as clear and crisp as actual photographs, and helps ensure that the scene or portrait will remain captured forever in stone. Intricate shape-carving allows for gorgeous figures or accents, such as floral borders, to be wonderfully shaped, which gives a relief-sculpture appearance to the carved portion. For those looking for something completely different, there are number of memorials that feature a unique shape, such as an arch that would hold the information requested on the supports, or perhaps a marker that looks like an oriental temple, for a peaceful atmosphere. There is also the combination of granite and bronze to produce truly breathtaking pieces. One of the more popular granite and bronze pieces features the family name in bronze letters, which gives an interesting spin to an, otherwise, ordinary design. Each stone also offers a variety of personalization options as well, to help make sure the memorial is as appropriate as it is beautiful. Especially because these memorials are so distinct, we verify with the cemetery to make sure the marker ordered will abide by their regulations. The loss of a loved one is one of the hardest situations we must face. Many find that creating a dignified and permanent remembrance to pay respects at, or just to think about happier memories shared, can bring great comfort. Knowing the memorial created is as extraordinary as the lost loved one can certainly help the surviving family members gain closure, and take a step further in the mourning process. The designs offered by this wonderful selection can help those who are looking for a unique memorial, for a truly unique individual. |
