To ensure that your loved one is honored the way they should be and with a headstone that is as unique as they were,\u00a0our\u00a0memorialist\u00a0at Brunswick Memorial Home, an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/brunswicknewfh.wpengine.com\/funeral-home-cremations-east-brunswick-nj\/\">East Brunswick, NJ funeral home and cremation<\/a>\u00a0provider can offer\u00a0some tips.\u00a0\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that all cemeteries have regulations that will dictate or possibly limit your\u00a0options,\u00a0we are familiar with all of them and will guide you in this process.<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Choosing an unusual or unique color of granite can help create a headstone that is beautiful and representative of your loved one. There are a lot of color choices to select from, so do keep that in mind as you begin planning the headstone. Some granite also has\u00a0different textures, with larger or smaller veins, so be sure to look at a wide selection of samples to make the best decision.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Custom shapes are another great way of ensuring the headstone you choose for your loved one is unique. Most headstone designers and providers have standard options, but they also make it possible for clients to plan the shape they want. If a particular shape or symbol was important to your loved one, why not choose to have the headstone made in that shape?<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Carvings\u00a0can also\u00a0transform the headstone into a\u00a0something truly\u00a0unique. Adding symbols\u00a0that either protrude or are engraved into the monument\u00a0that have significance for your loved one can not only make the headstone standout,\u00a0but they can also honor the person in a way that a standard gravestone cannot. If you want this option but you are not sure what symbols or shapes to consider, ask family and friends for suggestions.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The epitaph you choose can go a long way into personalizing the headstone. Although some people assume that the name and dates of birth and death\u00a0are the only things that are appropriate to place on a headstone, you can also incorporate sayings or quotes\u00a0that your loved one enjoyed.\u00a0Make a list of songs or poems that were meaningful to your loved one and be sure to reach out to family members to see what they suggest.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>All of these tips can make it much easier for you to create a headstone that is as unique as the person you lost.
