Nguni Tombstones

Tombstones(also called tombstones, grave markers, gravestones or grave memorials) are another costly feature of funerals most associated with costs to a grave. The cost of tombstones, unlike costs associated with other aspects of the funeral industry, are less frequently held as suspect or criticized for being outrageously marked up.

The equipment used and the time spent in creating a tombstone ensures that each one is a truly customized and sturdy memorial which many consider well worth the money invested. As with all other aspects of memorial service planning, you are free to choose a marker from an outside merchant or service.

1. If the burial is to be in a family plot, is a tombstone already in place or is their multiple grave sites ?
2. Did the deceased specify what sort of headstone, if any, he or she wanted ?
3. Does the cemetery have specific guidelines or restrictions about what styles or materials that can be used for grave markers ?
4. May a Complete Stone be erected or are you just allowed to erect a Headstone ?

In many cases, a headstone is usually made of granite, cement or equally durable stone material and can be shaped in a way personalized to the deceased if your cemetery allows for freedom in personalization.

While monuments can also be made out of metals or metal alloys such as bronze. Any monument can be engraved. Most commonly a tombstone will be engraved with the name of the deceased, the dates of birth and death and often a special quotation, dedication or religious passage. We will etch a picture of the deceased on the headstone or apply a porcelain or ceramic piece onto which a photograph of your loved one has been transferred. Most memorial makers have a book of standard tombstone shapes, styles and engraved designs from which you can select which best matches the tastes of your loved one and your family.
