Today a memorial no longer has to mean a traditional headstone in a cemetery. With more and more people choosing cremation as an alternative to traditional burial, many families are paying tribute to a loved one's life in other meaningful ways.

At Mount Pleasant Memorials, we help families create beautiful and moving memorials in many different forms and locations. Just a few examples:

• A granite-lined walkway to a favorite spot by the lake, carved with a grandfather's favorite Emerson and Thoreau quotes;
• A beautiful granite and bronze garden memorial in memory of a child who had only begun to grow;
• A sculpted granite fountain located outside the student union at the alma mater of a generous and loving woman.

With Mount Pleasant Memorials, the possibilities are boundless. The quality is permanent. And the spirit of a life lives on. Whether a family chooses traditional burial or an alternative, these types of memorials still provide friends and relatives with an all-important sense of "place"-a spot for personal reflection... and remembrance.
