4 Reasons To Add Photo Engravings To Your Monuments

Funeral monuments have been in place for hundreds of years. People have used them to memorialize birth and death dates and other relevant information about the deceased. You can often determine if the departed is a mother, father, sister, or brother. People began adding photo-engravings to their stones using laser technology in recent years. There are numerous advantages to adding photos. Here are are few.

1. Unique Personalization 

You can create funeral monuments as unique as the person they memorialize. In addition to providing basic information, you can design your memorial to provide information about the deceased interests, personality, career, and other information.

Adding a picture to the monument adds even more personalization. People are not only able to read about the deceased, but they are also able to see what the deceased person looks like. Viewing them can provide valuable geological information for many years to come.

2. More Photorealistic

People have chiseled pictures and images into stones for many years. Depending on when the family added the photos, the technology often left much to be desired.

Fortunately, that is no longer the case. Laser technology now allows you to add pictures and images to monuments that are photorealistic. You can add full-color and clear photos. 

3. Long Lasting

Many trace their genealogy by visiting family or church graveyards and collecting information from monuments and headstones. Photo engraving will provide even more valuable information for anyone visiting the grave.

Future generations will not have to figure out if anyone has family photos. The pictures will be right there with the rest of the information. Laser photo engraving produces images that are beautiful, clear, and easy to see. The pictures will remain vibrant for years to come. 

4. Provides A Connection

Have you ever been told you look like a family member who died before you were born or who you never met? These remarks often leave you longing to see a picture or image of the person to confirm this information.

Having a photo etched into your loved one's monument can be a great way of creating family connections. The picture will be a reference for children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and other friends and family forever. 

Talk to your funeral director about what pictures or images you would like them to photo-engrave into the monument of your loved one. The memorial will then become a unique piece of art that will memorialize your loved one into eternity.
