Garden Memorial Stones - A Beautiful Way to Honor a Loved One

!±8± Garden Memorial Stones - A Beautiful Way to Honor a Loved One

For many homeowners, their gardens are like an extension of their homes. They are designed with trinkets and accent pieces to reflect the personalities of the homeowners. For many people who wish to commemorate the life of a lost loved one, a garden memorial stone serves as a beautiful and meaningful tribute. These stones can be personalized with names, dates and favorite sayings.

When a beloved family member or pet has passed away, it sometimes feels that the right place to honor them is near the home they so enjoyed. You need not have elaborate landscaping to find just the spot for a garden memorial stone. Perhaps the best place is near the front entrance, reminding all visitors of the presence of a loved one's spirit in the home. Every property has a focal point, whether it is a towering pine tree, or a fragrant hydrangea bush, it is where a visitor's eye is drawn. Imagine a tasteful stone with comforting words sitting beneath. Often, homeowners choose to plant a seedling to commemorate the birth of a child, or a favorite shrub in honor of a lost loved one. What better way to complete that gesture that with a personalized stone placed along side of the tree or shrub?

There is a wide variety of styles to choose from when selecting a garden memorial stone. For those who have a preference for a natural stone piece, there are dozens of shades of marble and granite. Another popular and more affordable option is a piece made from cast stone, which is a mixture of concrete and aggregate. Once the type of stone is chosen, the further customization options are endless. From the size and shape of the stone, to the engraving and decorative elements, such as photographs and symbols, there are many options to personalize a stone. Stones can be large or small, in marker style or statuary. A simple, much-loved verse or sentiment may say it all, or a personalized stone with words that are unique to that person alone may be what will truly bring about much-needed comfort. Whatever the individual preference, there is certain to be a beautiful stone to suit it, conveying a loving and lasting tribute.

Pet Memorial Stones

!±8± Pet Memorial Stones

When a larger motif for remembrance is required, a monument stone or a grave marker is the best choice. Monuments erected in the memory of the pet can either be in the garden where the ashes have been buried or else at the pet cemetery if there happens to be one. Here it is important to select the right kind of material to make sure that it will not erode or break with the passage of time. Granite is the most favored material but it should be hard enough to be durable. The etched or the engraved lettering on the stone is an additional significant aspect of the memorial and this should be entrusted to a professional designer who has a thorough knowledge of fonts.

The headstones are usually created from a sand blasting or sand carving process, and it is important to check that real stones are used and not fake resin or molded stone pieces that only look like the real thing. The topmost quality of stone is always the one sourced in the form of premium river rock. Varieties of stones include slate, polished granite, marble, bluestone, or sandstone, depending on the quarries from which they come.

While the quality of the stone relates to the durability of the marker, the other factors that come into play are the composition, color, texture, density, and shape of the material. Some stones have natural flaws in their structure that can actually help enhance the appeal of the final design. Tombstones or markers are made from a special material called Vashon Buff with Grog. Thanks to the "grog," the wet clay does not shrink when it is fired and is much more durable. After firing, it turns reddish in color and a glaze could turn it to any color you want. The stone should handle weathering just fine in most climates, so long as it is not subjected to long periods of freezing
