Is a headstone a memorial?
The headstone is the most common form of memorial for a grave site. The headstone is typically a piece of rock (usually granite) that sits erect on the ground, allowing individuals who walk past to easily identify the individual.
Can you add a name to a gravestone?
Most churchyards require that the first and last names are included on a headstone, but some cemeteries do not have such strict rules and from time to time we are asked to only include the first name.
What’s the difference between a memorial park and a cemetery?
A memorial park is a modern cemetery with a difference. The most noticeable difference is that rather than the competing headstones of traditional cemeteries, memorial parks use dignified sculptured bronze markers lying flat on landscaped plots to memorialize a grave.
