Gravestones traditionally face east because it is believed that the rising sun symbolizes the hope of a new day and the promise of resurrection in many religious beliefs. This orientation is a way to honor the deceased and their faith in the afterlife.

What happens to gravestones after years?

Hi there. Some ancient gravestones have weathered so much that you can't read the inscriptions; however, it has been found that marble or granite gravestones hold up to the weather making inscriptions readable for centuries which is why we use these materials in creating bespoke memorials that last. Concrete gravestones are more susceptible to damage. Many ancient gravestones that survived are actually displayed in museums and many still stand on the gravesite.
