Traditional headstones have always been a popular choice with classic designs that have been through the ages. These monuments usually incorporate beautiful designs, religious symbols, and timeless designs that seamlessly blend with the established cemetery landscapes.
The modern design of memorials is embracing new technology while keeping the traditional values. Modern monuments often incorporate unique shapes, mixed materials, and personalized elements that reflect the individual's personal style, hobbies, or achievements.

One of the most significant aspects of putting together an obituary is the possibility to personalize it in ways that are true to the person being remembered. Modern technology has opened many possibilities of customization that go far beyond simple text engraving.
Photographic etching lets families integrate life-like images directly into the stone, resulting in a visual connection that traditional text alone cannot achieve. The images could include pictures and family photos or images that hold a particular significance to the person who died. Laser etching processes ensure that the images will stay crystal clear and bright for many years to the future.
Symbolic elements can provide an additional layer of meaning to any memorial. Military symbols, religious symbols or professional insignias or representations of hobbies and interests could all be part of the design. For instance, a note for a beloved musician and a fishing scene for the avid angler, or a garden theme for someone who enjoyed gardening could make the memorial more personal and significant.
Customized shapes are another possibility to personalize. While traditional rectangular headstones remain popular memorials can be made with heart-shaped forms or books, crosses, or completely unique designs that reflect a person's passions or character. These unique shapes can create an impressive visual impact and serve as conversation starters to keep memories alive.
