Hi there. The customs of Ancient Greece are astounding. Ancient Greeks are believed to be the culture that first used inscribed marble to mark their graves. Gravestones, statues and earth mounds were used to mark the grave and inscriptions were used to assure that the person's life is remembered. These days, it seems that the art of marble and granite gravestones and inscriptions which we provide follow part of the customs of the Ancient Greeks in death and burial.

Long lasting gravestones are made from marble or granite, which is what we use for our gravestones and memorials.
