Protestant Monument Plan

Protestant Monument Plan TM
 
The Protestant Monument Plan TM  from Rome Monument in Pittsburgh, PA is a unique pre-need program that enables Protestant families to purchase a customized Protestant themed headstone before a funeral and burial occurs and pre-arrange the installation of the memorial or grave marker in the cemetery in advance. 
 
Preplanning your Protestant cemetery headstone, marker or monument should be as much a part of planning for end-of-life as a will, insurance policy, and cemetery and funeral directives. Rome Monument’s Protestant Monument Plan TM  gives you and your family the opportunity to get the exact monument design you want at the price you want to pay—all in advance of your passing. You also relieve your loved ones of the undue stress and financial responsibility that comes with delaying the monument creation process until after your death. 
  
As opposed to at-need monument planning, which cannot guarantee that the wishes of the deceased are expressed accurately, pre-need planning allows you to pre-design, pre-plan and pre-pay for a truly high quality monument in accordance with your wishes and the traditions of your Protestant church, including the Adventist, Calvinist (Reformed), Pentecostal, Anglican/Episcopalian, Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Quaker churches.  Protestantism is considered a form of Christianity or a denomination of Christianity. While Protestants and Catholics worship the same God, there are certainly significant differences.
 
Our Pre-Arranged Cemetery Monument Plan brochure tells you all about the plan and the benefits of pre-arranging your cemetery monument, you’ll see a list of our showrooms, examples of types of monuments and more. Sit down with the brochure and family members to determine if the plan is right for you. Just click here to request the brochure.

The Protestant Monument Experts 
 
Since 1934, Rome Monument has been creating memorials and monuments for families of the Protestant religion in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, and the Tri-State area including Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. Our exquisite Protestant memorial designs use traditional Protestant symbols, designs and imagery that are skillfully etched, engraved or sculpted onto cemetery markers, headstones, and monuments, including: flush, flat or lawn-level markers; raised and upright monuments; benches; even family and estate monuments planned for the entire family. The Cross, angels, cup or chalice, doves, stylized depictions of a book (Bible) and other symbols used to highlight the promises of the Gospel have always been popular Protestant design choices through the years.  The cross is probably the most common symbol etched on Protestant headstones and monuments because most Protestant churches have a cross in the front of the sanctuary. For Protestants, the cross symbolizes the centrality of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the fullest revelation of God to humanity. Many Protestants browse our Catholic and Christian monument design galleries for ideas for their Protestant themed cemetery marker or burial memorial.

Name Your Own Price

Tell us what you want to spend on your pre-arranged cemetery monument by naming your own price. We will provide you with the highest quality monument at the price you name by maximizing the grade of the granite, and the size and shape of the monument.  In addition, there is no extra charge for what goes on the face of the monument, including letters, artwork, inscriptions, etchings, and porcelain photos.

The cost of a Protestant monument is determined by:

1) Quality of Granite – the better the granite, the longer your monument will last and the less it will be affected by weather conditions, outdoor elements, etc.

2) Size of monument – this determines how much granite goes into the monument. Larger monuments require a granite base as well. 

3) Shape – Basic rectangular shapes will cost less than custom shapes that need to be sculpted. Some shapes, such as those of heart and angel-shaped monuments, are pre-cast and will cost less than custom shapes.

4) Artwork – Most monument companies charge for artwork, lettering, inscriptions, porcelain photos, and other elements that go on the face of your monument. At Rome, we do these at NO EXTRA COST to you.
