Did you know that “monument” comes from a word that means “to remind”? The purpose of a burial monument is to remind us of a unique individual by establishing a physical location where important details about their life can be inscribed and recalled.

Monuments are often slabs of granite or limestone, but they can be unconventional—a newly planted tree or a perfectly placed bench. Inscription details can consist simply of name, lifespan, and epithet, or include religious quotations, personal interests, or pop culture references.

If you would like to learn more about how monuments can be personalized as permanent locations dedicated to remembrance, stop by or give us a call at 830-875-5713.
