Companion headstones are slightly larger than individual headstones, giving ample
room for couples to be memorialized together. Companion headstones are made from
the same sturdy materials (usually granite or bronze) that comprise other headstones,
but they differ from other headstones because they have room to include the names,
birth dates, and death dates of two people who have been (or are to be) buried side by
side. Because they can link couples together for the ages, companion headstones offer
a unique comfort to families wanting to treasure their precious memories for generations
to come.
Companion headstones, like all headstones, allow families to participate in the centuries
of memorial tradition that surround headstones in general. By marking the locations
where couples are laid to rest, companion headstones give families a specific location in
which to visit and memorialize their loved ones. Psychologists say an important part of
the grieving process is to be able to remember a lost person in a special, single spot.
Companion headstones also offer the additional advantage of memorializing people as
couples rather than as simply individuals. With a companion headstone, beloved
couples will always be just that for the ages.
Companion headstones can help historians and genealogists who can use those even
centuries, after deaths have occurred. By assuring that couples stay connected over
the ages, companion headstones assure that family histories accurate for years. This is
yet another reason why many couples are remembered with companion headstones.
Knowing that a beloved couple will be memorialized permanently, as a couple, for as
long as history is recorded is a great comfort that companion headstones can provide.
Companion headstones can be valuable even if both members of a couple have had
their remains processed differently. If, say, one of the couple has been cremated, a
companion headstone can still be used to memorialize that person alongside his or her
spouses\' un-cremated body. Also, it is common for cremation ashes to be buried in an
urn atop a loved-one\'s un-cremated body. Companion headstones can be used for this
memorial option, too.
Because of their very nature, almost all companion headstones are usually purchased
"pre-need." This means companion headstones are paid for while at least one member
of the couple is alive. These companion headstones usually have names engraved at
the time of purchase and then the dates of death are added (usually for another small
fee) later. Families often buy a companion headstone before it is needed so that they
can have the advantage of avoiding possibly paying more if the industry sees a price
increase. Many couples also enjoy the peace of mind of choosing the design and style
of their own companion headstone. While not always practical, it is sometimes possible,
for families to replace a headstone with a companion headstone after both members of
a couple have died. Because this can often be difficult and/or expensive, is why most
companion headstones are sold "pre-need."
You may also use companion headstones for cremation burial and memorializing a loved
one who has been cremated, for more information on cremation urns, please refer to
