When looking for ways to memorialize a loved one, many families choose a headstone. For some, however, they want another way to remember their loved one beyond just a headstone.

Memorial benches are becoming an increasingly popular way for families, friends, and communities to commemorate those who have passed on in both private and public spaces.
Here are 4 reasons you should consider a memorial bench to remember your loved one:
Planting a memorial garden or tree is a great way to provide a lasting reminder of a person who you loved.
But these remembrances require upkeep, such as weeding, watering, and disease management, which can decrease the overall lifespan of your memorial.
A memorial bench, on the other hand, is made of stone and constructed to weather a variety of outdoor conditions. Barring any unforeseen damage, your memorial bench can last in the spot where you place it for decades, creating a reminder for many people of the lasting impression your loved one made in the world.
Memorial benches can be found in home gardens, outside libraries, in public parks, and at schools.
If your loved one had a particular attachment to a specific location, such as your local library because they volunteered there for years, a memorial bench can be placed outside so members of the public can have a space to enjoy and remember that person.
But memorial benches aren't just for public spaces.
You can install a memorial bench at your home, such as in your backyard. This gives you a nice place to sit when you're enjoying the outdoors, and provides the added bonus of reminding you of your loved one each time you use the bench.
Because they are made of stone, memorial benches are meant to take some use and abuse, as well as being out in all sorts of weather conditions.
While they may need some occasional cleaning and repair, overall memorial benches aren't meant to require a lot of ongoing maintenance.
That makes them a very easy way to memorialize a loved one and, once you get over the initial price tag, they're relatively low-cost on a long-term basis.

At St. Charles Monuments, we've served our Long Island community for decades. During times of incredible difficulty, grief and stress, we maintain a firm commitment towards providing guidance, support and compassion that make your burden a little easier to carry. Of course, losing a loved one is the most painful and disorienting time in a person's life. However, we make it our mission to deliver unparalleled service that, hopefully, helps you through this challenging time.
One of the ways we help our community is by providing one-of-a-kind, gorgeous, unforgettable memorials to befit your loved one. As a result, we craft these monuments, in different styles, with granite, to ensure they're the most fitting tributes to their legacies imaginable. Without a doubt, granite makes for an exquisite memorial for numerous reasons. In this post, we'll explore the four main benefits of granite headstones.
Of course, one of the more central considerations when creating a monument is its ability to last. Obviously, when purchasing a headstone or bench for a friend or family member, you want it to last as long as possible. Also, you not only want it to last over the years, but remain elegant, beautiful and a fitting tribute to your loved one for as long as possible. This is what makes granite an ideal material for a memorial.
Unlike many other materials, granite doesn't stain, deteriorate or shatter. In addition, its ability to weather unforgiving elements or inclement weather is far superior to the alternatives. Granite headstones will remain alluring and intact, with its epitaphs and inscriptions vivid, for many, many years to come. Proper granite headstones also naturally resist the discoloration and deterioration that affects other memorial materials in between seasons. One material that makes for headstones that are equally as long-lasting (or perhaps even more long-lasting) is bronze.
Naturally, we want our monuments to remain in great shape for as long as possible. Part of ensuring they stay beautiful is with regular cleaning and maintenance. Many common headstone materials retain the beating they receive from poor weather and seasonal instability. However, granite is a much easier to clean (and maintain) material, and thus, far simpler to keep beautiful.
In the event a granite headstone fills with hard water, moss or any other kind of debris, it's all but effortless to reinstate its original beauty. A little bit of water, a clean cloth, and perhaps a touch of dish soap is all you need to eliminate whatever build-up may be present and restore the headstone's radiant craftsmanship.
When it comes to rewarding materials, granite is the perfect choice for crafting unforgettable monuments. Artists and technicians can execute high-precision laser etching and sandblasting techniques flawlessly on granite. As a result, the headstone can feature virtually any image, symbol or inscription that you feel is the supreme representation of your loved one. Nowadays, these techniques are the collective standard for excellent monument craftsmanship.
This kind of versatility provides you with the most diverse range of options for selecting the perfect monument. Basically, you can order a headstone as specific, personalized, and meaningful as you wish. Granite memorials give mourning families the ability to create headstones with virtually any image, inscription or epitaph they wish ' with stunning and enduring results. In addition, you'll have the opportunity to add new lettering in the future, if you wish.
Beauty is, perhaps, the simplest of all of these benefits, but easily one of the most important. Naturally, no one wants a headstone for their loved one that's overwhelmingly dull and forgettable, or simply unpleasant to look at. We want the memorials of our loved ones to be the perfect representation of their lives, legacies and their enduring impacts on our lives. Therefore, they must look as magnificent as our loved one deserves. This is yet another significant advantage of granite in headstone creation ' it's simply the most beautiful option.
At St. Charles Monuments, we have over twenty colors of granite to choose from ' each with an extraordinary richness and texture that makes for stunning, one-of-a-kind monuments. However, in comparison to other materials, granite is palpably the most regal, alluring and singularly elegant substance, perfect for an unforgettable memorial. You'll even be able to care for your monument regularly to ensure it remains as beautiful as possible over the years.
At St. Charles, we aim to deliver a headstone (and experience) that eases the difficulty that comes in times of grief. Granite is one of the many ways we strive to help you pay tribute to your lost loved one, and provide you with a beautiful, worthy place to visit them in the years to come.
