Choosing a headstone is an important decision because it becomes a lasting tribute to someone you love. In Kenya, families can choose from different materials, designs, inscriptions and finishes when creating a personalised memorial.
One of the first decisions is choosing the right material. Granite and terrazzo headstones are both popular options because they can be customised with names, dates, messages, scriptures, portraits and decorative designs.
What Should You Consider When Choosing a Headstone?
1. Material
Consider whether granite or terrazzo is more suitable for the memorial design, location and preferred finish.
2. Design
Headstones can be personalised with different shapes, colours, lettering styles, symbols and finishes.
3. Engraving
A meaningful name, date, scripture, message or quotation can make the memorial more personal.
4. Photograph
A ceramic photograph can be incorporated into some memorial designs, allowing families to preserve a lasting image of their loved one.
5. Overall Memorial Design
For a complete and coordinated appearance, families may choose matching kerbs, plaques, grave tiles and headstones.
The most important consideration is to create a memorial that reflects the personality and memory of the person being honoured while also being durable enough for outdoor conditions.
