Even if only a portion of ashes is buried or placed with a granite memorial, families are assured a permanent visible remembrance. Today, in fact, more and more people are planning ahead-making their memorial wishes known now and buying in advance of need. This is sure to ease their loved ones' burden during the difficult weeks and months that will follow their own passing-and to ensure that their memorial will be what they want. Conversely, they are allocating more to their memorial as an enduring visible symbol of family love. After all, the spirit of our lives is best read in what we choose to leave behind us.
Ceremonies are just a moment in time.
Photos yellow and fade. But a Rock of Ages memorial is forever.
