Understanding how the choice of color can influence the design of a granite memorial, gravestone, pet memorial or tombstone is an important step in creating the granite memorial that you will want to create for your loved one. This video will cover how to choose the right color for your loved one headstone, grave stone or granite marker.
Choosing The Color Of Your Memorial
Your personal reflections and memories of your loved one are the key elements in designing a memorial which will suitably represent their legacy. There is a trail you can follow, a journey in the process, that will help you in making your best creative decisions along the way. This process will help you in capturing the appreciated memories of your love and appreciation in a hand made natural granite memorial that will last for ever.
The Story
Consider the creation of a memorial as a illustration of your loved one's life story. This story can be expressed in the colour of the commemorative, its size, its shape, its finish, and even in the lettering or the graphical design you choose. Our target here is to combine your special memories and reflections in the design of the headstone or monument you create.
A good way to get your creativity flowing in this process is to have a look at your loved one's life from a number of perspectives. A person's treasured memoriies, gifts, lessons, celebrated moments and zeal for life can all be personalised on their granite tribute. You are encouraged to remember and think on the eight commonest aspects of life: work, events, accomplishments, heritage, faith,civic, and personality. As you look back on your loved ones life, which of these 8 life aspects best represents the gifts and passions of this special individual?
The Selection of Color
The first choice in the process of planning your commemorative is that of colour. Granite isn't just the second most durable stone in the world but it also is available in a rainbow of colors. Granites that come from every part of the world from blues to reds, whites to blacks, and nearly every color in the rainbow to select from. The choice of your monument's color is primarily based on the lettering, carving and the design you would like to have on your commemorative.
For instance, if you would like to include things like detailed text, complicated graphics and drawings or even pictures representing your much loved one, this will dictate you need to select a color that will best bring out the detail and wonder of these commemorative objects. You would very likely select a jet black to help provide the contrast you would need for complicated graphics and photographs.
Beyond the graphical contrast requirements of your monument, colour is otherwise a case of comfort, personal preference and intrigue. Where the monument will be displayed can also play a part in your color selection. A monument that'll be placed fully above ground will have less colour limitations than a gravestone that may be flat with the ground and exposed to weather and traffic wear.
Directing your way through the creative options in designing your loved ones headstone, monument or granite commemorative can occasionally be challenging. It is for this reason a qualified professional commemorative advisor can be of great help and assistance for you.
