Losing a loved one is an indescribable pain. It’s a grief-stricken journey that requires time, care, and gentle navigation. While we can’t ease the ache of loss, at Stoltz Memorials, we aim to provide compassionate guidance through one of the more tangible aspects of remembrance: headstones. Every life is unique, and every memory deserves a special place of honor. That’s why we offer a variety of headstone types, each crafted meticulously to echo the individuality of the soul it represents.
When families come to us, often during their most vulnerable moments, they are seeking more than just a stone. They are in search of a lasting tribute, a testament to a life well-lived, and a beacon of memories that will stand the test of time. Here, we delve into the diverse headstone types available at Stoltz Memorials, aiming to simplify the process for those who are seeking guidance in this journey.
Slant Headstones
A harmonious blend of elegance and simplicity, slant headstones offer a prominent face that is slanted, ideal for engraving heartfelt words and designs. While their form is basic, they are a step above flat or flush markers. Single-slant and companion-slant headstones sit noticeably off the ground, giving them a distinctive presence amidst the surrounding memorials. Perfect for those who desire a minimalist yet distinguished memorial.
Upright Headstones
Traditional and time-honored, the upright headstones are the most commonly recognized. Their vertical stature allows families a broad canvas to engrave, be it with cherished photographs, intricate designs, or words of love. Their prominence ensures that the memory of the departed can be seen from a distance, offering comfort every time you visit. These monuments are available in both single and companion sizes, ensuring that love shared in life remains inseparable even in the afterlife.
Memorial Benches
Moving away from the convention of stone slabs, memorial benches bring a functional element to the world of memorials. Not only do they serve as a poignant reminder of the departed, but they also offer a tranquil space for visitors to sit, reflect, and reminisce. The sturdy granite benches come in various designs, and sizes, and can be customized to resonate deeply with the essence of the individual being remembered.
Cremation Memorials
With the growing preference for cremation, there is a rising need for memorials that can house the ashes of the departed. At Stoltz Memorials, we offer a range of cremation memorials, designed to securely and respectfully hold the cremains. Among these, niche memorials stand out, crafted to accommodate the urn containing the ashes. However, if one wishes for a more traditional touch, upright headstones can also be customized to serve as cremation memorials, holding the cremains within the stone’s structure.
The choices at Stoltz Memorials go beyond the surface. Every headstone, regardless of its type, is crafted with superior-quality materials and unparalleled craftsmanship. We understand that for families, this stone represents much more – it’s a space of solace, a monument of memories, and an eternal ode to a loved one.
When selecting a headstone, there’s more than just the type to consider. It’s about reflecting on the personality of the departed, the memories you hold dear, and envisioning how you’d like to memorialize their essence. Be it through the stately elegance of an upright headstone, the minimalist charm of a slant headstone, the functional beauty of a bench, or the intimate tribute of a cremation memorial, every choice is valid and valued.
As you contemplate these options, know that you’re not alone. The journey of choosing a headstone can be overwhelming, especially when emotions run deep. At Stoltz Memorials, our commitment isn’t just to provide a product but to offer a hand of support, guiding you with sensitivity, compassion, and expertise.
