we have recently completed a beautiful single full length house type tombstone at west park cemetery, the most important was the concrete foundation which we did one week prior to the installation of the stone. the client wanted the stone to be elevated from the ground and we achieved it with the foundation.

the photo engraving was done by the artist and on the zim black stone the details came out beautiful.

the decor design on the pillars was purposely placed on the sides so when standing in front of the tombstone the engraving is clear and uncluttered,

here is some photos of the complete stone and the process during the installation,

Celebrating the first anniversary for your loved ones

Death is a very painful thing that can happen to the ones we love. We all grieve together at the time of the demise and try to move on. The thing most people don’t know is that the natural grieving process takes a lot longer than most people expect it to be. This is why we have anniversaries to try and acknowledge the   life of the departed soul. When you have lost a close relative or friend you will be gravely hurt and it’s nothing less than devastating.  A year on after the burial we try and rekindle the moments we shared with them by having an anniversary in their honor.

An anniversary is aimed at acknowledging the good life of the loved one and this day should be set aside solely to commemorate and keep the memory of the departed alive in us. While at it we should state how this person has inspired you or change or influenced your life. Most people like to publish this on papers and other online memorial sites to show that you still care and value the departed. Sharing these thoughts with others can prove helpful and lets others know you care.

Many people have a lot of ways to mark the anniversary of a loved one. Some host large parties every year. Others tend to have a an annual get together and go on to donate personal items to the needy while others like to celebrate the life of the deceased by donating organs to help save lives. The way you decide to mark the anniversary of your loved one is entirely on you. The fact that you had something to mark that day is just special.

Many people prefer to stay with the immediate family of the loved one and give something special to them. Even if you were not very close to the loved one. Try and feel for them and convince them that you are as distraught as they are. An anniversary should be a time to reconnect with the family and friends of the deceased and try celebrate the life of the loved on rather than mourn.

A very remarkable way to mark this day is by upgrading the grave site of your loved one and erect elaborate stone memorials and markers. A lot of people wish they could have done more and make impressive monuments. Well the anniversary is the best time to do this and you can take it apron yourselves to make the grave site stand out every year. We should all try and replace basic markers with larger and better headstones that have rich, heart-warming epitaphs and prayers for our loved ones.
