Q.    Do we have to choose a different design for each panel?

A.    No, it is up to the family how many different designs they choose.  Personal Monuments™ can incorporate up to five different designs including the name panel or custom text panels, or they may choose to repeat the same design on several or all panels.

 

Q.    Do Personal Monuments come fully personalized?

A.    Yes, Personal Monuments™ will arrive to your place of business or other specified location fully personalized, complete with a name, birth date, and date of passing if a name panel was chosen.  No additional personalization will be necessary.

 

Q.    Does a name have to be placed on the front?

A.    No, the Name Panel can be placed in any of the four sides or replaced with any standard design or custom text.

 

Q.    What is the best way to choose the designs from all that you have to offer?

A.    Use the Design Selection Worksheet in the Binder to help each family answer questions about the deceased. The result will be a customized memorial honoring that life.

 

Q.    How are the cremated remains placed in the Personal Monument?

A.    On the bottom of the Personal Monument™, you will find a bronze finished closure panel secured with screws.  Unscrew and place this bottom panel to the side.  Open the temporary container holding the cremains.  You should find that the cremated remains are stored in a plastic bag.  Place this bag into the Velvet Liner that comes with each Personal Monument™.  This is strongly recommended to offer the absolute highest level of protection and to ensure the remains are laid to rest respectfully. Place the Velvet Liner inside the Personal Monument™ and secure the bronze finished closure panel with the screws.
