traditional grave spaces- allow the owner of the grave to put a full headstone on after burial. All memorials of this type must be installed to approved national standards Pitched: The most rustic of all the finishes, a pitched finish gives the stone a textured surface with jagged edges, meaning it’s easier to plot into older surroundings. Burials can take place on any day, but there may be an additional charge at certain times. Headstone and grave monitoring You may be able to add text and visuals to the headstone designs. Ask your Funeral Director what your limitations are depending on the size and shape of the one you choose. For example, if your loved one was musical, you might like to have an engraving of the instrument they played. It’s completely up to you if you choose to add an image or not.
