This tradition developed not only as a means to pay respects, but to record their history and honor their accomplishments so future generations would know who they were. Even the monument comes from the Latin word “Monere”, meaning “to remind”. The creation and placing of  monuments even if only a pile of rocks, has been one of mankind’s oldest traditions.

Many different types of materials have been used over the centuries to memorialize lost loved ones, but the only material that can stand the test of time is rock. Today the most popular  monument is Granite.
