From traditional grave markers to outdoor memorial plaques and stones, outdoor memorials are lovely ways to pay tribute to a deceased loved one or pet in a peaceful, natural setting.
Since ancient times, family members have used markers to identify the burial plots of their loved ones. Over the centuries, grave markers evolved from primitive piles of rock to today's beautifully crafted custom outdoor memorial plaques of stone, granite, bronze, or marble.
The growing popularity of cremations in recent years has led to a corresponding reduction in the number of in-ground burials. Although the practical need for grave markers has declined, the natural human desire for a special place to commemorate the dead – a physical location where one can pay tribute to a friend, family member, or pet who has died – endures. Memorial plaques and other outdoor memorial markers can be a wonderful way to do this.
