Honoring a loved one with a thoughtfully chosen headstone is a meaningful way to keep their memory alive. There are many options available, from classic curved tops to timeless granite, each offering space to personalize with heartfelt inscriptions. Whether you prefer a simple tribute or something more poetic, the inscription is a lasting reflection of your loved one. Setting a budget early and considering your style preferences can help make the process smoother.

🕊 A Headstone Marks a Life - The Memory Link Tells the Story 🕊
With the Woodruff Memory Link, you can turn a traditional memorial into a powerful, interactive tribute.
Visitors can scan a discreet, weatherproof tag to view your loved one’s story; photos, videos, voice recordings, and more. It’s a beautiful way to keep their legacy alive and accessible for generations.
📲 Accessible anytime, anywhere, whether at the grave or from home.
🛠 Backed by a 10-year warranty and installed by professionals.
We recently encountered a tough situation, after the original grave owners passed, no transfer of ownership had been made. The cemetery’s policy? After 1 year without proof, the parish takes ownership of the grave. 💔
This isn’t just one cemetery’s rule, many families are facing these challenges across Michigan and beyond.
If you're working on a headstone or monument and unsure about ownership, you could face major delays—or worse, lose the right to use the plot.
At Woodruff Downriver Stone Design, our process starts with verifying the location and legal status of the grave with the cemetery. We confirm that your memorial order is allowed and ensure all ownership and financial matters are squared away before any work begins—saving you time, money, and the emotional toll of discovering issues too late.
