What Is A Monument And How Does It Differ From A Headstone?
A monument is a lasting structure created to honor and remember a loved one, often larger and more elaborate than a standard headstone. Monuments can include upright markers, slant markers, or custom-designed memorials, offering more space for inscriptions, symbols, and artistic details. Headstones, on the other hand, are typically simpler, smaller markers that identify a gravesite with basic information like names, dates, and brief messages. While both serve the purpose of remembrance, monuments allow for greater personalization, visibility, and lasting impact, often becoming a central tribute in a cemetery.
