Trigard Memorials’ Temporary Grave Markers

When most people envision a temporary grave marker, a simple metal sign or a note card sandwiched between two pieces of acrylic comes to mind.

There is no question that either option will adequately identify a burial space and make it easier for a family to locate their loved one’s grave.

With that being said, neither option compares to a Trigard Memorials temporary marker in terms of appearance, benefits, and opportunity for a future sale.

If you can spare a few minutes, I will back this statement up with some facts.

What Sets Our Product Apart from Others?

A Trigard Memorials temporary marker is more than a placeholder with a name and set of dates.

Our generously sized 12” x 7” temporary memorials beautifully mirror the personalization of a bronze grave marker.

Adding words of endearment, decorative borders, and emblems are features that create a heartfelt tribute that is unique to the person being remembered. Add more impact by including a full-color portrait medallion.

Trigard’s temporary grave markers are made from polyvinyl chloride and will withstand harsh weather conditions. An 18” stake can be purchased for a nominal fee to display the memorial.

How You Can Benefit

Over the years many customers have shared how their temporary marker programs help them secure bronze memorial sales.

They have found that once a family is able to envision how the grave marker will appear, making that vision permanent with a bronze marker is often the next step.

A lot of monument shops, funeral homes, and cemeteries will offer temporary memorials free of charge as a value-added service.

Tips for Success

As you are aware, more and more families are shopping around to compare headstone prices.

Always make it a point to tell potential clients that a temporary maker will be placed on the deceased’s grave and will remain there until the bronze memorial is installed. This will help differentiate you from your competitors.

It is also important to keep in mind that a temporary marker is intended to be a short-term solution. If a purchase is not made within a reasonable time frame, the marker should be removed from the grave.

How Families Can Benefit

When a loved one passes away, those left behind are faced with making a multitude of decisions in a few short days. For many, this is an overwhelming and stressful experience.

Arranging for an interim marker to be placed on a grave will alleviate some of the pressure a family may be feeling. It will also allow them to take the time they need to select a one-of-a-kind, heartfelt tribute.

The Process is Seamless

If you aren’t currently offering temporary grave markers, my hope is that you will consider doing so in the future.

I can assure you that the process of customizing and ordering a temporary marker is simple thanks to our interactive online design tool. And with our quick turnaround times, the product can be in place within several days after the interment.
