However, tombstones with green, pink, vegetable and other colors are also used. On the other hand, the shape of the tombstone is also different depending on the taste of the people.
The shape of the tombstone includes items such as floor The installation or height of having a tombstone, having a height, having a garden, having a shape other than the natural shape of a stone.
3. Family and religious custom
Having a family tradition of preparing tombstones for the deceased is one of the parameters in choosing a tombstone. For example, some families who have family graves and bury all their deceased in the same place, usually use the same tombstone as the previous ancestors. On the other hand, tombstones with different shapes are common among the followers of different religions. For example, the tombstones of Armenian compatriots are usually standing in the shape of a cross, while the tombstones of Muslims are always placed flat on the ground.
4. The laws of Aramestan
One of the most important points in choosing the shape and design of the tombstone is the rules of the cemetery where the deceased is buried. For example, in some of the new parts of Behesht Zahra, it is forbidden to put a high ceiling, a garden, and to increase the height of the tombstone, while in the old parts, these things are allowed. Therefore, before choosing the shape and design of the tombstone, the legal considerations of the cemetery should be considered. We suggest that before ordering a gravestone, you should ask the officials of the cemetery about the restrictions on gravestones.
5. Previous portfolio
In addition to the mentioned parameters, before ordering the tombstone, it is necessary to see the samples of the previous works of the stone shop in question. In the term of gravestone sellers, a sample of a stone seller's work is his birth certificate.
6. The durability and quality
One of the parameters that is usually overlooked by buyers is the durability and quality of the tombstone. Therefore, if the grave stone is not made of high-quality marble and the appropriate depth of inscription and laser is not used, after a few years, the grave stone will lose its quality and in some cases it will be completely destroyed.
Some types of stone In the beginning, tombstones are no different from other stones of the same color, but with the passage of time, they deteriorate or change color, which reduces the beauty of the tombstone. They can last for years, but you should pay more attention in buying these types of stones.
7. The grave stone design
The tombstone design includes the contents that the buyer intends to engrave on the tombstone. Items such as the information of the deceased and memorial texts carved on the stone with different styles of writing and the face of the deceased drawn on the tombstone with the help of a laser are among these contents. The intended design is effective in choosing a tombstone because the laser device does not work well on some tombstones.
8. The new tombstone design is easier:
In the past, tombstones were usually filled with personal information and religious and literary texts, but nowadays tombstones with simple designs are becoming common.
For some time, the tombstones of deceased artists and other famous people have simple designs, and barcodes are used on the tombstones in order to provide additional information such as photos, videos and audio.
