Companion Black Granite, Companion Headstone Design ideas
Companion Black Granite, A companion headstone’s design may not necessarily be that different from the design of any other type of traditional headstone. However, sometimes the design of a companion headstone is unique, reflecting the bond between those whose burial spots it marks. Design ideas to consider include the following.
Hearts
Some companion headstones resemble two hearts overlapping one another. This design is ideal for two spouses or romantic partners.
Usually, this type of companion headstone is upright. It might also have a light pink color, enhancing its symbolic qualities.
Rings
A similar companion headstone design consists of an upright, wedge, or flat headstone with an image of two rings interlocking on the facade. Often, this image will separate the names of the deceased.
Interlocking rings suggest romantic love in the same way heart shapes do. However, because this type of headstone doesn’t require any special carving or shaping, it may cost less than one that resembles overlapping hearts.
“Gap” companion headstones
Sometimes, a companion headstone will resemble a typical upright or wedge headstone, with one difference: there may be a gap in the middle of the headstone, separating it into two sections. Often, loved ones will place flowers, candles, or other or special items in this gap.
The part of the facade below the gap might also feature the last name of the two people whose grave it marks. Their respective sections of the upright facade may thus only include their first names.
