Benefits of pre-planning
During the difficult time of passing, your loved ones are left with a lot of responsibility all at once and sometimes decisions are hard to make. Pre-planning your monument and having it ready leaves them with the task of adding your information to the stone you have already picked out.
What are some important questions to ask when selecting a memorial?
- Are foundation and installation included?
- Where is the fabrication done?
- Does the final price include all design and lettering details?
- Do you want the designs to be shape carved? There are monument shops that shallow carve flat designs and then add paint.
- Can the memorialist show you examples of headstones they created and explain the process to you?
- Will I receive a proof before any carving is started?
- Do you do single or double-process work?
What should I bring to an appointment?
- When possible bring a deed
- Jot down ideas
- Take pictures of things you have seen and like
The difference between single and double-process
One major difference is the removal of detail. The nature of removing the polish after sandblasting the design and lettering will give the edges a pillowed compared to double process. Double process leaves edges sharp and clean.
