3 Constructive Advice On Monument Ideas

During the course of my life and every so often in our day

, I bump into really good memorial ideas. The same applies to really bad memorial ideas also. You might be thinking that all of this is a matter of individual taste and preference, but ask yourself the following: what makes a good or bad memorial idea? Is it individual taste? Is there a specific reason why a memorial is considered really good or really bad.

In this article, I am going to address and answer these questions by what I will use as something I call the "template for success" with regards to finding and executing the absolute best in memorial ideas.

This template was and is so defined by having asked myself and others (especially clients) three very specific questions. The goal in mind with these questions is to lead the client to maintain and reach the ultimate goal of their memorial ideas, perfect execution. Even though they might be considered simple, they are yet profound. Over the years I have found and realized that a lot of people and organizations who have commissioned a memorial, have a tendency to rush through the most critical phase of the memorial process, the beginning.

First question (1): what is the purpose of the memorial? Monuments and memorials can serve a whole spectrum of purposes. The key in answering these questions is to figure out and determine what the purpose of your memorial will be. Is it educational, motivational or purely functional? Is the purpose something else? I would suggest that you spend some good time thinking through and discussing as to what the answer to this question might be for you or your committee.

Second question (2): What are the emotions that you are wanting to capture with the memorial? This can be a real tricky endeavor. Emotions are often hard to define and pin down. Having said that, I will make you this promise; the more time you and your committee spend time discussing this particular question, the better time you will have spent doing so and the more powerful the overall reaction to your project will be in years to come. Emotions that you might want to capture could be: patriotism, respect, sorrow for an event, honor for the dead or the living, freedom, liberty or responsibility.

Third question (3): Who is the audience that will be affected and influenced by the memorial? As with the second question, there is a challenge in pinning down your audience also. To some this might be a question not worth discussing. The answer to this question might seem obvious also; "everyone knows who the audience is." Ask yourself these additional questions: is your audience made up of adults that are in their middle age? Are they males or females, (single) college students, youth, or senior citizens? If you determine your audience to be everyone, it will appeal passionately to no one at all. It is crucial to determine what your core audience is going to be.

Whatever you do in life, and whenever you execute your ideas, make sure to keep the end goal in mind. These questions and answers given to you above, can help you determine and carry out good memorial ideas.
