Everyone thinks that part of dying is about getting all the proper things for a funeral. One of those is the headstone. Yet, many wonder why they need it. Is headstone for showing love to the deceased one or for comforting your own soul? That's the question that many ask. Well, let's try helping you to understand what we think is the correct answer. If you stop to think about it, it's a bit for both. Now, some of you might say that that is an answer to give someone when you really don't want to answer the question at all, but that's not what we are really going for. With that being said, we will help you understand why it's for both the living and the ones who aren't so living. For the living, this is the place that has your name. It's the last place that they will be able to go and see you or talk to you so to say. That is why the headstone is there for them. It's personal. It has your name on it so it reminds them of you. Their hope is that your spirit will come to them. That is why it's there for the living. For the living, this is where they find peace. It's hard reality to know that someone you love has passed on, but at the same time, it's comforting to know that they don't feel any pain or anything of that nature. It's hard to say goodbye, but this makes those who are living realize that they have a place to meet the deceased. They can sit there and talk by that headstone and feel the presence that they long to feel. For the person who is deceased, the architecture might be something that they picked out. It also leaves a memory of who you were. It celebrates the years that you were alive and shows why people gather to mourn. It's a part of you whether a person sees it that way or not. So, who is the headstone for? Many will tell you that it's for both the living and those who aren't breathing. It's all what you make it out to be. For those of you who have people who will miss you, then the headstone is something that you definitely should consider. |
