When is it best to order a double grave monument or a single grave monument?
If there is a reserved grave adjacent to the burial, a double monument is preferable. In addition to giving assurance to the survivor that the reserved burial site will not accidentally be used for another burial, there is some comfort in the knowledge that it is at the side of one’s lifelong companion. Other situations where double monuments are used are: For two unmarried sisters, for a mother and daughter, for a father and son, for a mother and son, or for two brothers. The sentiment “united in life-inseparable forever” is fulfilled in the selection of a double monument.
