1. What is the Difference between a Grave Marker and a Headstone? Deciding the way to memorialize your loved one is something you shouldn’t determine hastily. It is suggested that you wait for a few months to determine the memorial type to buy. There are numerous options and depending on how one wants to remember the loved one, the budget they have, and the limitations of cemeteries, there’s definitely a lot to think about. A headstone and a grave marker are the most popular options. Grave Marker It is a smaller alternative that is not going to catch much attention due to its size. The grave marker sits flat, often, and you can read it only when standing straight over it [though some grave markers possess a slight angle to make it easier for you to read]. It can be easily maintained. The cemetery ground staff can do it for you if you cannot make it to the site. This marker allows for the printing of the essential information as a headstone. It is a great alternative for anyone who does not possess the financial resources to build a huge monument.

2. Headstone This is the most typical style of memorial for a burial place. It is a rock piece [mostly granite] that sits upright on the ground, letting people who walk past it identify the person easily. You can carve any information that you want into the headstone [name, birth and death date, engraving, quote or inscription]. If it is a military funeral, you can include a symbol or sign of the military division or outlet. The headstone is less ornate compared to true monuments and is often small in size. Usually, a headstone is shared by a family [father and mother].
