When creating a memorial for someone that has passed on,left us, I always try to learn a little bit about the individual and attempt to include something personal that was cherished in their life helping share the memory of them. For this particular memorial the client had a heart stone that she wanted to use. I collected a bunch of rocks that all had different looks for the client to choose from. This particular client picked out her rocks and laid out a design that brought her comfort and imbued a characteristic reminiscent of her son. Originally, she requested her son’s name engraved into the stone; ultimately, she went with a brass plaque attached to stone base.
