Every culture honors their loved ones and worships in their own way. For example, Koreans generally worship their ancestors through several rituals. The ‘esangjung’ ritual only takes place during the mourning period. The ‘ki’ ritual is a memorial service held on the day of the loved one’s death. There are memorial services commemorated on New Year’s Day and other rituals conducted in memory of ancestors performed at the tomb site in October.

Chinese funeral rites for children differ from the rites performed for elders. Funerals for elders are conducted according to the person’s age and status. In the home, the family will cover statues of deities with red paper and the mirrors in the home will be removed. In Japan, the relatives that visit the cemetery typically are the ones to clean the grave, tend to the weeds and dispose of grasses that grow on or next to the grave. Incense and flowers are offered in a special stand in the front of every grave.

Vietnamese families may make offerings of food, including rice and tea, for the deceased person’s soul and the ceremony is repeated three times per day during the typical mourning period of 100 days.

The Schlitzberger family has been crafting monuments and memorials since 1922; it is our family’s heritage and our passion. You may want a simple headstone or gravestone–something to mark the place with a name and dates inscribed on it. Or we can create something totally unique that will make people stop and admire its creativity and artistry. It’s up to you. Either way, we’ll work with you till you are happy with the result. See some of our cemetery monuments below to inspire you to create your own monument with the help of our award-winning memorial designers.

A memorial is a gift that will last forever and will be viewed by family members and friends for generations to come. Let us help you with a memorial that is appropriate, personal and affordable.
