Selecting A Monument
Tell A Unique Story
We hold the belief that every person's life is exceptionally distinct and incomparable to any other in history. Often, when individuals embark on the journey of crafting a perpetual memorial, they might perceive it as a process of merely selecting a pre-made design. At Red Rose Funeral Home, our perspective is distinctive. We believe that your memorial and legacy should be just as individual as the life it commemorates.
A family name bears significance, and it carries with it stories that are passed down through the generations. Let us be your guide in exploring this distinctiveness and weaving the narrative of either yourself or your cherished family member.
Material
When it comes to memorials, three main materials stand out: granite, marble, and bronze. Each of these can be tailored to match your specific design preferences. However, it's important to note that the cemetery where the memorial will be situated might have specific regulations regarding the allowable materials.
At Red Rose Funeral Home, we are well-versed in these guidelines and can provide guidance in making the appropriate material selection in accordance with the cemetery's requirements.
Budget
The extensive array of memorial concepts at our disposal enables us to craft a fitting tribute regardless of your budget. Throughout this process, we will work alongside you, ensuring that you have a comprehensive understanding of all the available choices. Key factors include:
- Material: Typically, memorials are constructed from granite, marble, or bronze.
- Size: The size of the memorial is a direct determinant of its cost. Larger monuments require more material, entail higher production expenses, and incur increased transportation costs.
- Color: If you opt for granite as the material for your memorial, the color selection will influence the monument's cost. Variances in cost among different granite colors stem from factors like availability and the source of quarrying.
- Design: Thanks to modern technology, the design possibilities for your memorial are virtually limitless. Monument designs can span the spectrum from simple, standard markers to fully customized designs that are entirely unique to the individual. The level of design intricacy chosen will impact the overall price of the monument.
Style
When granite is chosen as the material for your memorial, you'll discover a range of distinct monument styles to choose from. Each of these styles can be tailored to align with your specific preferences. It's worth noting that, similar to material regulations, cemeteries often impose requirements on the types of monument styles that are permitted.
At Red Rose Funeral Home, we have a comprehensive understanding of the unique requirements that different cemeteries may have, and we are here to help ensure that the monument style you opt for complies with these regulations.
