FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a memorial monument?
A memorial monument is a structure placed at a gravesite or memorial location to honour and remember a deceased loved one. These monuments are often made from durable materials like granite, marble or sandstone and can include inscriptions, symbols, photos and other personal details. They serve as a physical place for reflection, remembrance and tribute. Some common types of memorials include upright headstones, plaques, kerbed monuments and full monuments. Many families choose to personalise the design to reflect the life, beliefs or values of the person being remembered.
Can I add a photo to a memorial headstone?
Yes, you can add a photo to most memorial monuments. This is typically done using ceramic photo tiles, laser etching or engraving. Ceramic photos are long-lasting and resistant to fading and weather, making them ideal for outdoor monuments. Laser etching can produce detailed black-and-white images directly into the stone, offering a more modern look. Including a photo can be a meaningful way to personalise a memorial and create a visual connection for future generations. Most memorial providers offer different layout options to accommodate this feature.
Are there rules about what type of monument can be placed in a cemetery?
Yes, most cemeteries have specific rules about the size, material, shape and placement of monuments. These regulations help maintain uniformity and safety across the site. Some cemeteries only allow flat markers, while others permit upright monuments or kerbed enclosures. There may also be restrictions on inscriptions, images or decorative elements. Before ordering a memorial, it’s important to check with the cemetery or consult someone familiar with local guidelines to ensure the monument will be approved without issue.
