Information You can Put on a Grave Marker in Stamford CT

Standard Information Person's full name at the top of the grave marker. Dates of birth and death go underneath the name. Inscribe some type of epithet.

Religious Considerations In the Jewish faith, a person's English and Hebrew names go on the marker, as well as his/her relationships to others. In the Muslim faith, markers must be simple and small, which leaves little room for epithets or extensive information.

Cemetery Restrictions What you choose to put on the marker may depend on the amount of space available on the marker. Check with the cemetery about the marker type and size restrictions. At some cemeteries, you may install a standard, rectangular headstone, while at others you install a simple marker that rests on the grass.

Budget If your budget is several hundred dollars, you may only be able to afford space for the person's name and the dates of birth and death. If your budget ranges in the thousands -- or even tens of thousands -- you have nearly unlimited options.
