Why choose a monument
Why choose a monument
When a loved one is laid to rest in a cemetery, the final stage of closure involves the placement of a monument identifying their grave.
Throughout history, we have chosen to preserve the memory of our loved ones with lasting monuments of stone. No other material can be proven to last so long.
Monuments commemorate the lives of our loved ones, and the emotions others shared with them. As society has developed, so too have our monuments: a pile of rocks over a grave; the pyramids of Egypt; the Taj Mahal; and of course, the burials around a Christian Church, are all examples of early monuments.
From when New Zealand was colonised in the 1840s, white marble was mainly used to create personal monuments, as it was much less expensive than the harder granite. As better tools were developed, white marble gave way to our existing everlasting granite.
The purpose of a memorial is to record a life as a focus for people’s grief. Not only does it provide a quiet place to go and reflect on our ancestors, but it is also a record that a person lived.
At Headstone Warehouse a great deal of care and attention is taken in the lettering of a monument, so it can be a fitting tribute to your loved one. The range of possible designs is as broad as the range of people we commemorate, so talk to us and let us help you pay tribute to your loved one.
