A funeral is a sad affair but a top priority no doubt, for the near and dear ones. As a mark of respect graves are provided with memorial headstones that range from different types, shapes, and designs. These headstones can be made up of bronze, stones, or granite. Before selecting a memorial headstone for the departed, you need to check out its durability, price, and cemetery rules. If you buy one without doing a good amount of research, your purchase can be futile.
