INTRODUCTION

Selecting a memorial is an expression of love and respect for the life of a person. Whether the selection is
made by family or friends after a death or as part of a pre-need plan, the memorial is a tribute to the life of
an individual and is a source of satisfaction and comfort to those who are left behind to remember.

A monument is personal.
Selecting and designing a personal memorial is a unique opportunity to create a work of art that will
express the personality of a special person for generations today and tomorrow. Quincy Memorials will
assist you in making the decisions necessary to create this personal memorial.

A monument is history.
Memorials are lasting, genealogical records for families and are a lasting symbol of special lives that are
remembered and commemorated. Quincy Memorials can provide ideas on types of symbols, emblems,
letter styles and epitaphs that will truly personalize a memorial.

A monument is permanent.
Most personal memorials are manufactured from granite, a hard and durable stone that will last for many
years with proper care and maintenance. Granite is available in many colors from the traditional gray
granite quarried in Barre, Vermont to various shades of red, pink and black from both domestic and
foreign quarries.

A monument is art.
Memorials are available in many shapes from modest to unique and in many finishes from rough hewn to
mirror-like polish. Personal preference certainly plays a role in these decisions and they should be made
with the assistance of a memorial retailer to assure that the memorial will harmonize with and compliment
the landscape and adjacent memorials while still maintaining the personalization of design and shape.
Memorials range in size from small single flush markers to large family mausoleums; the most popular being
the traditional upright tablet and base. Cemeteries have guidelines and regulations concerning memorial
shapes, sizes, colors and installation and it is vital to be aware of these restrictions.

A memorial is a tribute.
The family memorial is a final tribute to a special person and it should be of the finest quality in every
respect. Careful consideration results in a lasting and appropriate tribute that will endure throughout the
years.

The desire to memorialize is as old as mankind. Monuments are among the most ancient records of man's
presence on earth, still visible, still proclaiming honor and respect.

We all want to remember and to be remembered. When you place a monument for someone, you are
making a statement for everyone to see, through eternity. You are saying that this person was special, that
this person was worth remembering, and that someone loved this person enough to mark his or her life
forever
