Caring for the graves of the departed is the responsibility of their relatives and friends. Depending on what means the bereaved have at their disposal and what kind of relationship they had with a deceased relative or friend, they can simply put an end to the grave or decorate it with granite. The latter option is undoubtedly more expensive, but also more durable. Such a monument will not overgrow with grass, but will keep its shape for many years.
Buying wholesale or finished product?
Most often wholesale granite is gabbro, that is, black slabs or slabs of lighter colors for facing graves. The grave is a kind of monument, therefore, the date of birth or a photograph, as well as the name of the deceased person, must be inscribed on it. Wholesalers rarely engage in cutting and engraving, and therefore if you need a custom-made monument, you will most likely have to turn to intermediaries for help. These are exactly the customers of the wholesalers. However, it should be noted that in this case they are not only engaged in commerce, but also sell their own services. In the states of such companies, as a rule, there are professional specialists in working with granite. Their services are more expensive, but there is an opportunity to get a finished product, which is important, because a funeral is a rather expensive and hectic period when you need to do a lot in a limited number of days.
Variety of shapes and styles of monuments
The monument can be of any shape. The most creative decisions are often made for people who were artists or engaged in other creative activities during their lifetime. In this case, the works of the deceased are sometimes taken as a basis. Memorial granite ribbons, domes, arches and crosses are the most common elements that represent the classic style of grave decoration. You can also use color combinations - for example, red with black or brown-pink with light gray. Here, the decision is made by the customer, based on the availability of funds and other equally significant reasons.
