Can I design a tombstone for my loved one?

Losing someone special is tough. At Mankweng Tombstones, we know a tombstone is more than just a marker. It’s a lasting reminder of a life well-lived, a source of comfort for those left behind, and a way to celebrate your loved one’s memory. We’re here to help you create a beautiful tribute that reflects their unique spirit.

This guide will walk you through how to design a tombstone, giving you ideas to personalize it and make it extra special.

At Mankweng Tombstones, we believe your involvement is key. Whether you have a clear idea of what you want or need some guidance, our friendly team is here to support you:

• Got a vision? Share it with us! Maybe you have a favorite photo, a poem they loved, or a special symbol you want to include. We’ll work with you to bring your ideas to life.
• Need some help? No problem! Our experienced designers can guide you on choosing the right material, writing a touching inscription, and adding artistic touches that look great.
• Looking for inspiration? We have a wide range of pre-designed tombstone styles in our catalog to spark your creativity.

Making Your Memorial Special

• Choosing the Right Material: Granite is popular for its strength and timeless look, but we offer other options like marble and sandstone to fit your style.
• Picking the Perfect Shape and Size: From classic upright stones to flat markers and memorials for couples, we have a variety of shapes and sizes to fit your needs and cemetery rules.
• Adding a Meaningful Inscription: This is usually the name, birth and passing dates, and maybe a special quote or a short message about your loved one.
• Adding Personal Touches: Religious symbols, flowers, or even images related to their hobbies can personalize the stone and reflect their life.
