Hi there. The history of gravestones goes back thousands of years as Ancient grave markers have found in Greece and Rome. Gravestones, like we have today, developed around 300 years ago. Previously, wooden crosses were used to mark a grave followed by stones shaped like a coffin. Some of these grave markers deteriorated completely because of weathering. Long lasting gravestones are made from marble or granite, which is what we use for our gravestones and memorials.
