Planning ahead for your memorial is a thoughtful way to make sure your final wishes are carried out and to take the stress off your loved ones during a difficult time. At Da Vinci Gravestones & Monuments, we specialize in helping individuals and families across New Jersey plan and design pre-need memorials. With over 80 years of experience, our family-owned business is here to guide you with care and skill, creating a lasting tribute that reflects your life and legacy.
A pre-need memorial is a headstone, marker, or monument that you design and purchase ahead of time. Instead of leaving these decisions for your loved ones to make later, pre-planning lets you create a tribute that matches your wishes while providing peace of mind for your family.
There are many types of pre-need memorials to choose from. If you prefer something simple, a headstone or marker can be customized with personal details. Companion memorials are perfect for couples who want to share a tribute. Family memorials are larger monuments that honor multiple generations, while custom memorials allow for unique designs that reflect your personality, values, and accomplishments.
There are many good reasons to plan your memorial in advance. For starters, you get to make all the decisions yourself, from the design and materials to the special details like inscriptions or artwork. This ensures your memorial reflects who you are and what’s important to you.
Planning ahead also makes financial sense. By locking in today’s prices, you protect against future cost increases, which saves your family from unexpected expenses. Most importantly, pre-planning takes the emotional burden off your loved ones. During a time of grief, they won’t have to make difficult decisions, allowing them to focus on honoring and remembering you.
At Da Vinci Gravestones & Monuments, we make the process simple and stress-free. Our team will start by getting to know you and your preferences. Together, we’ll help you pick the perfect memorial type, design, and materials that match your vision. Whether you want a traditional headstone or something completely unique, we’ll work closely with you to customize every detail.
You’ll get to choose the inscriptions, like your name, dates, quotes, or meaningful messages. You can also add artistic touches such as carvings, etchings, or religious symbols. There’s even a wide variety of granite colors and finishes to choose from, so your memorial can match your style.
Once the design is finalized, we offer flexible payment plans to make pre-need memorials affordable for everyone. After the memorial is crafted, we securely store it until it’s ready to be installed, ensuring it stays in perfect condition.
We’re here to guide you through every step of creating your pre-need memorial. First, you’ll decide on the type of memorial you want. Whether it’s an individual marker, a shared companion memorial, or a family monument, we’ll help you make the right choice for your needs.
Next, we’ll help you pick the materials. Granite is a popular choice because it’s durable and comes in a variety of beautiful colors like black, gray, red, and blue. If you prefer something with a smooth, elegant look, marble is a great option. You can also add bronze accents, like plaques or decorative details, to make the memorial stand out.
Finally, we’ll help you add personal touches to make your memorial unique. This could include portraits, religious or cultural symbols, special carvings, or meaningful quotes. Once you’re happy with the design, we’ll make sure it’s perfect before moving forward.
