Why are Gravestones so Popular?

Gravestones have been used for centuries to honor and remember those who have passed away. One reason they remain so popular is that they provide a lasting tribute that can be visited by future generations. A carefully chosen gravestone shows respect and love, reminding everyone of the life that was lived. Modern gravestones can be personalized in countless ways, from engraved portraits to special words and symbols that share a person's story.
