From a car to an angel to a bench, you can request your headstone resemble an important aspect of your life, your beliefs, and your personality. If you want something simpler, you can request a heart, a natural stone, a cross, or a simple adjustment to the classic rectangle shape that most headstones resemble.

Design and Layout

From your name to your epitaph, the text on your headstone can be customized and stylized any way you wish. The most popular epitaphs are “Rest in Peace,” “Loving Mother and Wife” or some other variation of personal identifiers, and “Lovingly Remembered.” If you want something more unique, you can choose a personal saying or signature phrase. Many people also choose to list children, grandchildren, and spouses on their headstones.

Accessories

When personalizing your headstone, you don’t only have to think of the headstone itself. You can add accessories such as lighting in the form of solar inserts or lamps, flowers in a vase, photographs, ornaments and statues, and even a QR code that links to a personal tribute page.

Base

The base is often an overlooked aspect, but it is just as important as the headstone itself. You can match colours, customize the shape, add engravings, and more. The base of your headstone can even act as a connector between your and your child’s or spouse’s headstone for a double monument if you wish to be buried together.
