Tombstones are the connecting links of life and death. The alive erect the
stone sculptures in memory of the deceased.
Earlier whatever stone available in the vicinity was used as a tombstone
or gravestone. Gradually as the display on the tombstone started taking
shape of a memoir, the stone was carved and crafted. There was a time when
tombstones were practically monuments. TajMahal is one such example. The
Georgians in the west are known to make tombstones as permanent monuments.
Gradually marble was most preferred as a tombstone since it could be
carved and decorated in the desired way. Gradually granite and limestone
also were accepted for the purpose. They may be used in a polished neatly
cut form or may carry the rough rugged look given an artistic touch.
