As time passes, some people feel that they are forgetting their loved one or not honoring their memory.\u00a0To help ease these feelings and to ensure that a loved one is always remembered and honored, permanent memorialization such as a monument or marker should be placed.\u00a0There are lots of options to choose from, and the full service memorialization specialist at Brunswick Memorial Home, an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/brunswicknewfh.wpengine.com\/funeral-home-cremations-east-brunswick-nj\/\">East Brunswick, NJ funeral homes and cremation<\/a>\u00a0provider can offer some tips to help you design a unique memorial for the person you have lost.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In designing a memorial, be aware that most cemeteries have regulations dictating size, style, and other elements with the monument or marker, so it\u2019s best to be familiar with them before beginning the process. We\u2019re familiar with all the local cemeteries and can guide you before you begin.<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The first thing you should do is determine a budget;\u00a0\u00a0 the budget has to be reasonable and somewhat flexible. To best\u00a0plan ,\u00a0take the time to do some research into the average rates of these kinds of memorials.\u00a0 Prices can fluctuate a bit from provider to provider, but they do stay within an average. The cost will depend on size, the materials from which the memorial is made, and many other factors.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The next step is to choose the style of monument that you want. If you have a limited budget, your choices will be a bit narrower, but there will still be numerous options to choose from.\u00a0\u00a0 Our memorialization department offers upright monuments which have the most amount of carving on them and allow for the most freedom of design. You can also consider flush markers, which lay flat on the grave. These can be one of the more affordable options, and they offer a classic, sleek look that always provides elegance.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The other popular option is slant monuments, which are the halfway point between a marker and an upright memorial.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Once you know monument style you\u2019d like, you will want to consider what color granite you prefer. Many people think that granite comes in limited options, but this is not the case. There are dozens of shades to consider, so be sure to ask to see samples.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As soon as you have the style and granite picked out, it is time to design what you want the memorial to say. Depending on the size, you will be able to add names, dates, and even quotes on the granite. You can even add symbols that can be carved directly onto the granite. Take time with this step and get some suggestions from people you trust.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It is best not to rush into creating a memorial monument for someone you have lost. From choosing the budget you want to work with to the color of the granite, you should carefully consider all options.
