Language of symbolism

The human desire to be remembered has endured the ages of mankind with undiminished persistence.

 

Most frequently the fulfillment of this desire is left to the survivors… and it is the monument that stands as the physical instrument with which to express and preserve the memory.

 

It follows, then, that every memorial should in its own way be personalized to reflect the life of the individual or family.

 

Symbols and epitaphs continue as the universally accepted language of memory.  Most people are instinctively aware of the message they wish their memorial to convey; fewer know exactly how to articulate their thoughts in the dialogue of symbolism.

 

For example, the language of flowers

Flowers have forever been the language of love, yet each of the many species speaks individually of a specific meaning.  The Hollyhock symbolizes a fruitful life, the Clematis is symbolic of beautiful thoughts.  The Rose, true love.  The Lily, purity and majestic beauty.  And hundreds of others.

 

We are professionally trained to know the appropriate symbol or epitaph for every spiritual feeling, every human characteristic, every experience, accomplishment, organization or occupation.
