Why are Headstones used in Cremations or Cemetery?
Cremations are a conventional way of disposal for the deceased, and gravestones are one of the most usual types of final resting place. Cremations are a widespread practice in the USA. However, you may have observed that several churchyards do not have headstones to commemorate any died person. Some graveyards may require that headstones be sited on ground in the remembrance of the lost person, while others may not.
“Note: Headstones aren't required by law, and it's common for most states to have a "consent declaration" that allows for the removal of a deceased person's headstone without any burial place.”
Cornerstone Memorials is one of the leading suppliers of quality monuments like granite or bronze grave markers manufactured with the finest materials to the highest standard. We have a wide range of headstones including some metal designed grave markers.
Headstone
A headstone is a memorial structure designed for a deceased loved one. It is a small, regular-shaped stone. These stones could be curved or transformed into a shape if the deceased was cremated. We construct headstones from stone, concrete, or metal. Our Headstones usually have a brief inscription that is engraved on the slab.
In our wide collection, there are many gravestones, including simple stones with an epitaph, memorial gravestones, and cenotaphs that can be used for the commemoration. Few headstones have an epitaph overhead the grave, while others are flat so that the deceased's detail is reflected in the lustered granite ledger grave markers. Gravestones can be a basis of comfort for the family, while others provide detail about the deceased. While most headstones are made of flat stone, normal, there are a few that are constructed of different types of rock or have an unusual look. Some headstones even have engravings inscribed on them.
Selecting a memorial headstone is an eternal tribute to your loved ones and your love for them. At Cornerstone Memorials, we have expert craftsmen willing to give you advice and help in your selection.
Why Is a Cremation Headstone Necessary?
A headstone marks the grave's spot, providing a way to remember the people who died and providing antique significance. One reason for their common presence elsewhere is that headstones don't require much maintenance. In some cases, a tombstone is used to indicate where an individual's body is buried. However, a stone with the engraved name, birthdate, and demise date is very helpful in cases where a person's grave is not found.

Memorial Headstone is a traditional symbol of remembrance. You can also place a tiny urn or a few flowers on the headstone as a gesture of harmony with the family and friends of the deceased. The precise location of the tombstone will determine the importance of the grave. In some cultures, a memorial stone may be placed in specific places to indicate the bond between the deceased and that place.
