Major Things When Selecting Cemetery Monuments

Opting to purchase cemetery monuments is one highly effective way to honor loved ones that you have recently lost. These products are considerably larger than markers or headstones. More importantly, buyers have a better ability to add embellishments, accessories and other custom additions. Those who invest in these products, however, should be prepared for higher prices.

There are some materials that are commonly used in these products that have become quite attractive to thieves. This is definitely something that people should remember. Copper, bronze and many other alloys and metals are often stolen and sold to local recycling facilities. This is something that can be very devastating for family members to deal with, but it also represents a significant monetary loss.

A number of product manufactures have begun to equip markers, headstones and the related accessories with special security features. For example, you plan on having a copper or bronze vase as part of this set, this can be fashioned with a durable chain that attaches it securely to the monument. This will help to deter vandals and thieves.

It is often best to have the name of the deceased and the cemetery in which he or she is interred, etched onto the bottom of any marker or accessory that you invest in. Should an item ever be taken by vandals, local authorities will know where to return it. This can also help to tip recycling companies off to the fact that these items have been stolen.

Buyers should always consult with cemetery managers to know more about the rules pertaining to the placement and structural features of these items. There could be limitations on the sizes of these products, their colors and the different design additions that people incorporate when customizing them. It is far better to learn this information in advance, than to buy something that will cause problems later on.

Buying a single monument for decorating a family plot is a very cost-effective strategy. This is one way that people can honor several generations of their loved ones with a single purchase. These work well for those who have bought a number of plots in a single area.

Even though you are able to save a fairly significant amount of money by ordering cemetery monuments from sellers online, you will also have to account for the installation costs and the shipping charges that must be paid. People tend to pay quite a bit in order to have these items shipped, given the fact that they weigh a lot. It is also good to not that certain supply companies could be less than eager to install products if they have not sold them.
