A monument, sometimes known as a tombstone, headstone, gravestone or grave marker, is far more than a means of marking the resting place of an individual or a family. It is a symbol of devotion. It is a tangible expression of the noblest of all human emotions - Love. A Monument is built because there was a life - not a death - and with intelligent selection, and proper guidance, should inspire reverence, faith and hope for the living. The selection of a memorial is an expression of love and respect for the life of a loved one. Whether the selection is made by family or friends, the memorial is a tribute to the life of an individual and a source of satisfaction and comfort to those who are left behind to remember.
