Headstones

You may find it difficult to find where your loved ones have been buried without a gravestone or headstone. Rely on Memorials of Charleston to design a headstone for you and your loved ones. Headstones are nothing new. They have been available for as long as we can remember. The traditional headstone will have the name of the deceased engraved or etched on it, date of birth and date of death, a personal message, and an image. Insetting an image of the deceased on the headstone is very common depending on where you live. Contact us to find out what options are available to you.
 
Materials We Use
Some cemeteries will only allow a certain headstone shape on their grounds. The headstones that we design are constructed of granite and marble. However, if there is another type of stone that you would prefer, let us know and we will accommodate your requests. Regardless of the type of material that we use for your headstone, it will be crafted with strict attention to detail and one that will be long-lasting. Here are some of the options to consider for your headstone:

• Slate – This type of material is easy to work with. We highlight the lettering with white paint or gilding.
• Sandstone – Sandstone is one of the most durable materials that we use to create headstones. They are also soft and easy for carving.
• Marble – It is easy for us to carve marble, and is a popular choice. Marble is constructed of recrystallized limestone.

 
Basic Inscriptions
Even the most basic inscriptions have an inscription on it. It usually includes the person's name, his or her birth date, and date of death. This information is not only important to those who love the person but is also used by historians and genealogists. Some cemeteries use a reference code to find the gravestones to help with their maintenance. Some people might not approve the inscriptions on some headstones or deem them unsatisfactory. We know the types of inscriptions that can be considered distasteful and will avoid them.
 
Superior Craftsmanship
When you visit a cemetery, you will notice that some headstones look better than others. Some are decaying and falling apart. This could be for a variety of reasons. In many cases, it is because whomever they chose to construct their headstone, didn't use quality materials and didn't care about the craftsmanship. Our superior craftsmanship is the reason why so many rely on us for his or her tombstones.
