Bronze Plaques

I have a confession to make. I think I might have mentioned this before, but it is something that is becoming more and more popular where I live, and I find it disturbing. Someone, somewhere invented these glow in the dark crosses and angels that people can put on the graves of loved ones. Now, I have no problem with crosses and angels. They are both beautiful things. However, when it is night time, and I am driving by a cemetery, and all I see are glowing figures all over the graves, it's a little spooky. I mean, it seriously creeps me out.

I am not afraid of cemeteries at all, just the glowing. In fact, on many occasions, I have wandered around a cemetery while visiting a certain grave. I love finding the old graves, and reading about peoples lives. I hope when I die, Junior looks at Bronze Markers And Plaques, and finds something that I would love. They have many different bronze plaques and memorial plaques, and they have so many designs to choose from. In fact, while I was browsing the site, I found a pretty cool looking bronze grave marker that has a stream and fish on it, and I immediately thought of my husband. Is that weird? I guess it's a good thing to be prepared, right? This site has so many epitaph examples to look through, I guess I was bound to find something I liked. I think he would prefer a grave marker to a huge tombstone. We are all about the simple things, so why change that?

I was also reading about their commemorative and dedication plaques, and was impressed with all that they offer. For instance, if you want a garden memorial plaque that you are going to mount on a boulder, rock, or tree stump, they can make a fake boulder, rock, or tree stump for you, and have it delivered to your doorstep in a few weeks. It will also have the plaque mounted when they deliver it.

If you are thinking of having a plaque made for any reason, check out this site. There is no middle man, they cast your plaque themselves in their bronze foundry, which keeps their prices down. I am going to go pick out my own design, that way I can make things easier on my loved ones when the time comes.

We drove by a cemetery one night and each grave had those solar powered lights like people use in their landscaping. It freaked me out big time. So my husband said the ghosts needed lights so they knew where they were going. Crazy.

HAHAHA! I hate the glow in the dark crosses too! HA How stupid is that! Why would those be needed? Who sits in the dark to grieve...do the spirits need a night light? LMBO!

What a waste of money!
