There are a few crucial things to know and understand before you go forward with the purchase of a granite memorial bench.

Costs

The price of headstones is generally calculated by weight; therefore, the larger the monument, like a memorial bench, the more expensive it will be. Some monument companies do not include the price of any additional features, including engraving or customizing. Families should also remember that when ordering a memorial bench online or from a third party, shipping may become expensive, as shipping costs are calculated by weight. 

Cemetery Rules and Guidelines

Each cemetery will have rules around which kind of headstones they will allow, including style, size, and features. Before shopping for a granite memorial bench, find out exactly what the rules are at the cemetery you are working with. In some cases, cemeteries will have relationships with headstone makers and vendors, meaning they will only allow monuments provided or created by those vendors in their cemeteries. Knowing these requirements will ensure you do not run into potentially devastating issues when installing a memorial bench. 

Color and Customization Allowance

Some cemeteries may place restrictions on the color of granite you can use for a memorial bench. Along with the rules and guidelines, the cemetery in which you will be placing a memorial bench should provide you with exact details on color and what accessories they allow. Also, know if they allow photographs or imagery to be etched into a memorial bench. 

Tips For Selecting The Right Memorial Bench

Memorial benches are one of the best ways to memorialize and honor your loved ones. They are increasingly versatile and available in a variety of different sizes. These are not only easily visible to people walking by, but they also enhance the overall environment around them.

Generally, memorial benches have been regularly used to honor donors, leaders, supporters, or other exceptional community members. Today, these monuments are being frequently utilized by many to honor and memorialize their lost loved ones. Apart from offering a visual remembrance of the beloved deceased, these benches also provide a physical spot to sit, relax, and reflect.

You should consider the following before purchasing a memorial bench to honor your loved one:

Material Type And Durability

One of the essential things to consider when purchasing a memorial bench is to look for the type and quality of its material. Granite is one of the most popular choices for most clients due to its increased durability and the availability of various colors. Granite benches can withstand extreme weather conditions such as blistering heat and freezing temperatures with ease, and you can expect them to endure and last for a very long time.

You can also enhance your memorial bench&#;s longevity by installing it in an appropriate location, such as open space. After selecting the right spot for your bench, observe the entire place, and see what sort of open spaces would be appropriate for installing your bench. The benches&#; modern design and functionality make them suitable for installation in various settings, including traditional cemetery plots, natural cemetery sections, family farms, backyards, public art projects, and more.

Timing And Availability

There&#;s no definite time when it comes to death, so how soon you wish to honor your lost loved ones memory will impact your decision to buy a memorial bench. If you want to place a bench a few days or weeks after the passing, you will have to find memorial makers who can get the job done right on time with the utmost quality.

Personalized Message

One of the most exceptional attributes of a high-quality memorial bench is that you can have a special message inscribed on it to honor your recently lost loved one. You can feature their name or a meaningful quote that relates to their personality. The monument makers can either insert the text inside a small plaque attached to the bench or spread it across the entire seat.

Your memorial bench&#;s overall design will largely depend on how you want the text to appear on it and its material. The majority of the colored granite upright monuments usually have the text in large letters engraved in the middle of the seat, making it easy for passersby to read. A beautifully contrasted text inscribed on a granite bench will certainly cause people to stop and appreciate the wonderfully crafted bench.
