In most cases, the final step of laying a loved one to rest is placing a monument on their final resting place. For many, this gives them some sort of closure in knowing that they will always have a physical location to remember them by; for others, this is the hardest part of the whole process because there is something final about the decision. So, when is the right time to add a monument to the grave of your loved one?

Firstly, you should consider the religious customs of your family or of the person who has passed away. Whilst most religions don't actually specify when a monument should be placed on a grave, some (such as Judaism) will specify that a marker must be placed on the location as soon as possible so that others can identify the final resting place. Those of the Jewish faith believe that a monument should be placed on the grave no later than a year after the burial.

Secondly, you should consider the requirements of the cemetery that your loved one has been laid to rest in. Most will actually require a certain amount of time to pass before the monument can be erected, as this will allow the dirt that covers the grave time to settle. If the headstone is placed too early, it will shift and move as the dirt around it settles, even causing the marker to sink into the earth, which will require some attention to rectify.

Thirdly, you should consider your own personal grief and that of your family and friends. The loss of a loved one can be a very painful, stressful and grief-filled time for even the strongest of people; often, those responsible for the burial will put off finalizing the monument until they are able to mentally and emotionally handle the decisions. Some people also decide to wait so that they have time to choose a headstone that really represents their loved on.

Whilst there are a number of considerations that you should take into account when making the decision of when to place a monument on the grave of a loved one, it is ultimately up to you. Once you have decided that it is the right time to place a headstone on the grave, you will need to contact the person in charge of the cemetery to arrange having it erected at an appropriate time. Hopefully you will then feel at peace with the conclusion of the process.

When a loved one has passed away, you want to ensure that the monument you design for their final resting place embodies who they were in life and remembers them in death. An important aspect of designing a monument for your loved one is the material that it is made out of. There are actually a few different materials that you can choose from, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. We have put together this guide to give you a little more information on each.

    Granite: This is one of the most popular materials for use in the creation of monuments, most likely because it is able to achieve an elegant and classic appearance. One thing that you must keep in mind when choosing granite, however, is that it can be a little on the expensive side. Even so, the price is well worth it because the monument will be extremely strong and possess a beauty that is long lasting. It is also available in a variety of colours, allowing you to pick accordingly.

    Marble: Another very popular material for use in monuments, marble is actually quite similar to granite in that it is often chosen because of its elegant appearance. It can also prove to be quite expensive, although its price will all depend on the colour chosen (like granite, marble is available in a few different hues); in some ways, it can be the more affordable option. This stone is very strong and will not easily succumb to the effects of weathering.

    Bronze: This is also an extremely popular material for the creation of monuments today. It can be used in conjunction with either granite or marble, forming more of a plaque, or it can be used by itself. As bronze is relatively heavy, it is an extremely durable metal that will be able to easily withstand the effects of weathering. Many people find that the use of bronze can actually make the monument appear more artistic, which is great when you consider that it is very affordable.

When designing a monument for a loved one who has passed away, the first thing you should do is a set a budget of how much you can afford to spend and the second thing you should do is choose a material that fits into this budget accordingly. Whilst you might love the sleek and elegant look of marble, if this stone isn't really in your budget you will have to choose something more affordable, like bronze. Not matter what material you choose, the monument will be a stunning reminder.
