Granite memorials are sealed, similar to how you would seal a kitchen countertop to protect it from wear. Abrasive or corrosive cleaning methods can actual remove that seal, allowing the elements to absorb into the stone, so be sure to avoid those substances.
Obelisk monuments are tall and have square bases, with the obelisk tapering upward toward the sky. In some cases, you might choose to add an adornment at the top of the obelisk, such as a statue, pyramid, or ball.
One of the things that must be considered before you select a monument is the rules and regulations of the cemetery where it will be placed. Each cemetery has its own unique set of rules and requirements, which will help dictate your choice.

Sometimes, people have a special pet that has died and they want it memorialized. Creating monuments for pets is actually quite common, and pet cemeteries exist for burial. The same information goes on a pet’s marker as goes on a person’s.
When a loved one passes, the family has the duty to send off the deceased according to his or her wishes. As such, it would help if there are specific instructions written down or otherwise passed on before the time comes.
