Create grave plate yourself
Since my husband was cremated and a simple grave plate is expensive, I did everything myself.
A terrace plate (40 x 40 cm) selected in the hardware store and painted with letters / numbers. As a deco still a leaf or a flower to it ... no second has such a designed grave plate and it costs only a fraction of a Steinmetz plate.
xldeluxe_reloaded: I think it's not "reprehensible" to make such a record as a grave plate itself and in my eyes it looks quite professional.I would not mind.
Anyone who does not have the money or is simply out of conviction against the overpriced products of the cemetery stonemason has found a good solution.
Maybe the deceased guy was even like me:
In no case, any brimstone after my death, keep everything as cheap as possible and please do not let the Undertaker please let it affect that "the dead should well be worth it".
I have an anonymous sea burial planned for me: I love the sea, have a very personal relationship to it and do not want my survivors have to worry about a grave. Since the deceased was burned, it was perhaps similar and there is enough a plate quite. It's not about bronze letters and Italian marble ........ nor about "the people" igel9: I also think that an expensive tombstone is not necessary. You should look after your loved ones during your lifetime and appreciate them. A grave can be very simple in my opinion, it is important to me that it looks neat and tidy.
