Hello and Thanks for stopping by our site! Before you think about designing your own memorial, take a walk in one of your local cemeteries. The memorials there will tell you so much about the community itself. Even with only a little knowledge of your town, you will see names that you recognize. You might see the name of your local library, a park or even a ball field. You will also see what things were important to the other residents of your town. For example, a cemetery in a sea shore town, will have many memorials that capture a theme of ocean or shore life. You will see everything from sunsets over the beach and lighthouses to sail boats and marine life.
No matter the location of the community, you will always find mixed in those other things important to all of us. Those being religious symbols, hints to heritage, distant places or a simple cabin somewhere as well as other interests and hobbies. A memorial can be very simple or tell so much about the person buried there. So what's been important in your life or the life of your loved one? What interests or hobbies brought joy to their life... and what do you want to say to those future cemetery wanderers who might walk by your memorial...
