A memorial stone serves as an everlasting memory of our loved one or dear pets. While old tombstones were bland and basic, people are now beginning to make elaborate designs to honor their families and friends. While a professional company can help you with the handy work, it is important that you and your family design a stone that will be treasured for generations to come. Instructions as follows: Firstly, find a company---such as Pine Ridge Online or Perfect Pet Memorial (see References)---you feel confident will etch your design into the stone well. Ask family and friends who have gone through this process before for references. If you decide to go with a local company, ask them if you can contact any past customers for testimonials via phone or email or if you can see samples. A company that feels confident in their work will always be happy to oblige. Secondly, discuss with your family where the memorial will go. Decide if you want it on their actual grave or in a memorial garden. Thirdly, sketch a rough idea of the shape and size of the tomb with your family. This can help you get a better idea of what to tell the company to make or when picking from a selection of their pre-made stones. Fourthly, work with the company to choose agranite, size, lettering and template you and your family feel is cost effective and appropriate. Remember, the size and granite can vary immensely, and with that so does the cost. Keep in mind the price range as you select the monument. Fifthly, decide on what to put on the stone. You and your family can draw a portrait of your loved one or pet or inscribe anything you wish about your deceased family member. Keep in mind the size of the stone and what materials will be used when making the design. You don't want to have a culture stone that is crowded with too many things on it. Sixthly, sketch what you want on the memorial itself. Draw and redraw as many times as possible and make sure the family agrees that this how they want to stone. It may be helpful to draw it from several different angles so that everyone is in perfect agreement about it will turn out. If you're not handy with a pencil and paper, you can use a computer to aid you in your design. Seventhly, take your final drawing to the company you've chosen or scan it and send it in an e-mail. They can help counsel your family on final details that may make the stone look even better. Eighthly, hold an unveiling once the stone is finished, if you wish. Family and friends of your loved one will likely want to come together to honor this beautiful new monument and the deceased. Tips & Warnings Shop around for companies to help you. Even though you are grieving, it is important to find one that is both beautiful and cost effective. Decide on a price range before you begin. Memorials can range anywhere from $450 to $45,000. The price range you decide on will aid you in the design process. Finally, let me have a conclusion.
