Losing a family member or friend can be a heart-wrenching experience, and finding ways to grieve, heal and move forward is integral to personal growth. Setting up a memorial stone in your garden is one wonderful way to remember your loved one in a positive and beautiful way. A garden stone, nestled among flowers, ensures that the memory of the person is long-lived and cherished. Knowing that there is someplace where you can go to actively remember the one you have lost may also help to mend your heart when it is hurting. Instructions as follows: Firstly, choose the saying you want to have engraved on your garden stone. You might choose a religious scripture, your loved one's favorite saying or a quote that fits the importance of your loved one on your life. You should also decide whether you want your loved one's name and life dates engraved on the stone. Secondly, pick out the perfect garden stone for your loved one and garden. Stones are available in large and small sizes, in uneven smooth rock shapes, carved crosses and birds, and in rectangular shapes with engraved designs such as angels, animals and religious symbols. Ensure that the size and style of peculiar stone you choose will fit well with the words you want engraved on it. Thirdly, pay an engraver to engrave professionally the saying that you have chosen for your memorial stone. Engravers are easily available online, but you may have to pay high rates for shipping. Alternately, ask your local funeral home to recommend a skilled local engraver. Fourthly, prepare your garden while the stone is being engraved. The engraving could take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on how busy the the engraver is and how much work needs to be done on the stone you have chosen. Dig up any grass in the area where you want your stone to be, till the soil and add a layer of mulch to keep the weeds at bay. Fifthly, position your engraved memorial stone in your garden. You might want to dig a small hole to set it in, so it is less likely to move around in inclement weather. Lightly pat dirt around it to make it secure in its location. Sixthly, push mulch aside, and dig holes for low-lying flowers such as some types of geraniums, phlox or hens and chicks. These flowers are relatively low maintenance and will fill the area around your tomb stones without hiding it. Seventhly, prune around the garden memorial stone regularly. Even with low-lying plants, you will need to clip foliage that begins to grow too closely to your stone. Regular pruning and watering as needed will keep the memorial area of your garden beautiful and help to make it a peaceful place to remember your loved one. Finally, let me have a short conclusion.
