How Does a Modern Tombstone Look Today?

Tombstones have long served as a way to commemorate loved ones, but their designs have evolved over time to reflect changing styles and preferences. Today’s modern tombstones offer a variety of options for personalization and expression, allowing families to create a lasting tribute that truly reflects the unique life of the deceased.

Here’s a look at what defines a modern tombstone

  • Enduring Beauty: Granite remains a popular choice for its strength and timeless elegance. It provides a beautiful foundation for a memorial that will stand the test of time.
  • Personalized Touches: Modern tombstones go beyond names and dates. You can include a cherished photograph (see our example in the image above!), a poem that brings comfort, or a symbol that reflects their hobbies or interests.
  • Artistic Flourishes: From floral designs to religious iconography, artistic elements add visual interest and personalization, making the memorial even more meaningful.
  • Material Options: While granite is classic, modern choices might include marble or sandstone, depending on your aesthetic preference.
  • Shape and Size: Modern designs cater to diverse needs and cemetery regulations. From classic uprights to flat markers and companion memorials, there’s a shape and size to fit your vision.
