Messages That You Send With A Laser-Etched Monument
Stacy Carpenter
As you think about the different ways that you might want a headstone for a recently deceased loved one to look, laser etching might be a term that you hear. Your monument provider can likely show you examples of laser-etched monuments, which offer a dramatically different appearance than traditional headstones. There are plenty of advantages to going this route, including the fact that the display on the monument will stand out and take on a lifelike appearance. Here are some messages that you'll be sending when you get a laser-etched monument for your late loved one.
He/She Was Important
A laser-etched monument sends a clear message that the person whose casket is buried beneath it was important. If your late loved one was notable in the community for any reason, and you expect that lots of people will appreciate seeing his or her monument while visiting the local cemetery, laser etching is the way to go. People visiting the cemetery won't be able to overlook your loved one's monument, and will naturally be drawn to approach it and ready about the person's life, which may make you feel happy to think about and may even provide some comfort.
He/She Was Loved
Laser etching can sometimes present a considerable investment, which is often a useful way to show the community that your family member was deeply loved. A small and inexpensive headstone can have the opposite effect, perhaps suggesting that the deceased person didn't mean very much to his or her surviving family members. The time and expense that you go to when choosing a laser-etched monument that depicts a desirable image of your loved one and some thoughtful lines of text show everyone the love that you have for him or her.
He/She Lived Abundantly
People often want to ensure that the monuments that honor the lives of their departed loved ones are reflective of how the person lived. For example, someone who was rich will often have a large monument, perhaps taller or more involved than many of the other monuments at the cemetery, as a way of showing that this person had a rich and abundant life. If your late loved one prided himself or herself on living in an abundant manner, a laser-etched monument can often be a fitting tribute. Full of vibrant colors, this monument can be a true testament to your loved one's life.
