What Are Book Headstones?
Book headstones are granite markers that are carved or sculpted in the form of an open or standing book. The design is a depiction of the narrative of a life, its chapters, belief and memory, which is why it is one of the most symbolically rich forms of headstones in the UK market.
Such memorials are an ideal option to:
- Plots of the cemetery graves and lawns
- Churchyard memorials
- Companion and two-dedication memorials
- Religious and literary honors
- Families that want something unique and yet classic
The inscriptions can be inscribed on both sides of the book, especially open book designs, which permit the family to provide more space to narrate a story.
