Shapiro Monuments

Many know that cemeteries are not just for the deceased and their loved ones. They are a place of light, peace, solitude, nature, contemplation, and much more for the living. Cemeteries in the fall can be popular places to take photographs. Remember, if you're visiting a cemetery only to take photos, then you must give priority to those that there to visit someone who has passed away. While capturing your image, you must remain quiet, and ensure you don't encroach on other people's space and emotions.

Modern granite headstones, built to last for centuries, come from quarries around the world. Some common locations include Vermont, Georgia, Canada, India, China, and Sweden.

Granite is valued not only for its beauty but also for its durability. Crystals actually make up the stone, creating an interlocking structure that makes it virtually indestructible and even tougher than marble. It's also scratch-resistant.
