How do gravestones rot?

Hi. Currently gravestones are pretty resilient because the manufacturers of gravestones and memorials have learned from the past. The purpose of a gravestone is to provide a long-lasting memorial while marking the grave. In the past, gravestones were made out materials (like concrete and sometimes even wood) that are subject to deterioration caused by weather. Now, most gravestones are made from marble or granite. We chose these two materials for our line of gravestones because the materials are durable and fairly weather-resistant. The inscriptions made on the stone will survive the weather and last as a memorial for centuries.
