Memorial Photographs
Planning a farewell
service for a loved one is a sad but honourable duty. Selecting an appropriate photograph for their
final resting place will be a permanent reminder of who is being honoured.
For a headstone photograph,
most funeral parlours need an 8 x 10” photograph. This will ensure that a
person’s facial details can be reproduced. The photo needs to be sharp and
clear, mainly a close up of the person’s head and shoulders.
For example, the photo
can be sent to Europe where experts will scale it down and then etch the image
onto a stone or granite tile. The final size is usually 4 x 3”. The finished tile is then attached to the
headstone.
With a bit of
foresight, a photo session with this purpose in mind can be done quickly and
tastefully.
If this is something
you have thought of doing, consider an appropriate environment such as a park,
proper attire and grooming.
