In the event of a friend or family member passing you are left with countless questions. Among these questions are often “how do I correctly honor said person’s life”? Through the ages monuments have proven time and time again that they are a meaningful way of paying respects. By giving your loved one a monument to commemorate his or her life,  you are allowing them a piece of the earth that will last an eternity.

Symbolically by giving them the Jewish monument they are able to live on, not just through our hearts but in the impact they’ve had on friends, family, and the planet. In most cases the funeral and other traditional events are very large gatherings which limit the privacy you have with your loved one. This is why many realize the true value of the Jewish monument afterwards, it allows you a place to physically go “see” your loved one which can be extremely healthy for the body, mind, and soul.

There are many factors to take into account when choosing a beautiful Jewish monument for your loved one. The first of which would be whether you want to use bronze or granite as the base. Granite can be found in just about any color you have in mind so it will offer you a bit more creativity. Some feel bronze has a more traditional appearance and reflects the style of classic monuments. Unfortunately, bronze with all of its shine does not come in as wide a range of different colors.

You can choose just about anything you like but at the end of the day, please realize that you are honoring your loved one with something completely custom and beautiful. It’s a very special thing when you can honor someone’s entire life or legacy with stone or another material.
