When a loved one passes, the journey of honoring their memory begins. This delicate time often requires balancing emotional healing with practical decisions. One Life Memorials, based in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, understands this journey. Since 2012, we’ve been dedicated to providing temporary grave markers that not only serve a functional purpose but also offer a meaningful way to begin commemorating those we’ve lost.
In this post, we’ll explore how temporary grave markers bridge the gap between loss and remembrance, why they’re essential for families and funeral homes, and how One Life Memorials helps preserve cherished memories.
The Importance of Temporary Grave Markers
When a loved one is laid to rest, permanent memorials often take time to design, produce, and install. However, the need to mark a gravesite is immediate. Temporary grave markers play a crucial role during this transition.
- Guidance for Visitors
These markers provide a clear way for family and friends to locate the grave, especially in the days and weeks following a service. They offer direction during visitations, ensuring that no one feels lost during their moments of grief. - A Thoughtful Interim Solution
Permanent monuments can take weeks or months to be crafted. Temporary markers fill this void, offering a respectful placeholder that symbolizes care and thoughtfulness. - A Personal Touch
Modern temporary markers, like those offered by One Life Memorials, go beyond functionality. They’re designed to reflect the dignity and uniqueness of the individual being remembered, even in this interim phase.

Caring for Temporary Markers: Tips for Families
We believe that even temporary memorials deserve care and attention. Here are some tips to keep them looking their best:
- Cleaning: Use a gentle glass cleaner, like Sprayway, for regular maintenance. For dirt buildup, rinse the display with water first.
- Replacing Solar Lights: To ensure consistent illumination, we recommend replacing solar lights annually.
- Protecting Against the Elements: While our markers are built to last, placing them in shaded or less-exposed areas can extend their longevity.
By following these steps, families can ensure their loved one’s memorial remains dignified and beautiful throughout its use.
