How to Choose the Right Headstone in 2025
Choosing a headstone is one of the most meaningful decisions a family makes. It’s a lasting tribute to your loved one, so it’s important to select something that feels personal, dignified, and appropriate for the cemetery. Here are key things to consider in 2025:
- Material – Granite is the most popular choice for its durability and beauty. It resists weathering and comes in colors like grey, black, blue, and red.
- Size & Style – Options include upright monuments, flat markers, or companion stones. Check cemetery rules for max height (often 48 inches) and base requirements.
- Inscriptions – Personalize with names, dates, photos, quotes, or faith symbols. We offer bilingual options (English/Spanish, Hebrew, etc.).
- Cemetery Compliance – Every cemetery has unique guidelines. We know the rules for Maryrest, Valleau, Gate of Heaven, Cedar Park, and more — we handle all paperwork.
- Personal Touches – Add portraits, hobbies, or symbols that reflect your loved one’s life.
At Memorial Arts of Ridgewood, we guide you with compassion every step — no pressure, just care.
