The loss of a loved one is a difficult ordeal, and creating a worthy place of remembrance becomes an important step in the process of saying goodbye. Choosing a monument requires careful consideration: it must not only be beautiful and durable, but also match your financial capabilities. Sovcombank tells you what to look for when choosing a tombstone and how to plan expenses.
Material selection: balance of quality and cost
Natural granite is one of the most popular materials for monuments due to its durability and noble appearance. It is resistant to temperature fluctuations and precipitation, maintaining its original appearance for decades. Marble looks exquisite, but it requires more careful care and may lose the clarity of the engraving over time. Budget options such as polymer granite or injection-molded stone can save money, but they are inferior to natural materials in durability. All services can be found on Sovcombank’s website.

Design and decoration: how to create a monument with a soul
The shape of the monument can be different — from a classic vertical stele to a horizontal slab or a figured tombstone. It is important to consider the requirements of the cemetery: some of them have limitations in size and design. Modern technologies make it possible to apply portraits, patterns and even entire scenes from life to the monument using laser engraving. It is better to think over the text of the epitaph in advance — it should reflect the character and values of the person to whom the monument is dedicated.
Financial aspects: how to plan expenses
The cost of the monument depends on the material, the complexity of the work and additional elements such as a flower garden or fence. To avoid unexpected expenses, specify the full price in advance, including shipping and installation. If there are not enough funds, you can consider the option of installments or use accumulative instruments, for example, a deposit in Sovcombank, to set aside the required amount.
