Choosing a memorial to mark the final resting place of someone you love with a memorial and memorials can take many forms. We are all familiar with traditional stone memorials erected in cemeteries or churchyards, or placing plaques to mark the spot where ashes have been scattered. There is also the option of having a memorial bench or commissioning a piece of personal sculpture or artwork. The memorial is a lasting symbol of remembrance and a tribute to your loved one’s life.
Because a memorial is a lasting monument and a tribute to a person’s life, perhaps a final gift to someone dearly loved, it is important to choose it carefully.
Hasty decisions made while still in great distress frequently result in later regrets, so it can be sensible to wait – and to spend time selecting a suitable design.
