Choosing the right material is an important aspect of designing a
monument for a loved one. Different kinds of materials can be used for a
cemetery monument, each of which has its own benefits. The following are the
most popular cemetery monument materials:
- Granite invests a monument with an elegant and classic appearance. Though it can be a little expensive, the price is well worth it because the monument will be strong and long lasting.
- Marble can also give an elegant appearance to a cemetery monument. The most popular marble color is white with grey veining. Its price varies depending on the color chosen. Marble is very strong and will not easily succumb to the effects of weathering.
- Bronze can be used in combination with either granite or marble, forming more of a plaque. Bronze is relatively heavy and extremely durable and, therefore, can easily withstand the effects of weathering.
- Concrete, though unconventional, can be a reasonable choice due to its low cost and high resistance to the elements.
- Sandstone is durable and can be easily carved. This material is usually chosen for the warm, authentic and rustic look it creates.
