HALLOWEEN TOMBSTONE BUYING GUIDE

When it comes to buying your Halloween Tombstones, Monuments and Accompaniments there are a slew of choices and just as many decisions for you to make. Remember, not all Halloween tombstones are created equal. Inexpensive ones made from polystyrene foam, do not look very realistic, tend to be brittle and do not hold up very well to abuse. The more expensive ones are usually made from high density urethane. These look much more genuine and hold up much better over time, but cost more. Here are the basic questions we ask ourselves every year.

How much can you afford to spend? Unless you have unlimited funds you will probably want to budget for every Halloween. This means deciding what you want to add for the current season. There are two ways you can go. You can spend your budget buying a larger amount of inexpensive tombstones or buy a smaller amount of high quality ones adding to the size of your collection every year.

Will your Halloween theme be scary or light-hearted? There are a plethora of types and styles of Halloween tombstones available. Some are on the funny side, some are created to look just like real tombstones, while others are down right sinister in appearance. We don't like to mix these styles together, rather we decide what theme to go with and buy our tombstones to match.

Are you building a dedicated graveyard and if so how realistic do you want it to look? Generally, a full fledged graveyard will be fenced in with either a fake wrought-iron fence or a wooden picket fence, and will usually have some type of creepy entrance-way, even though you probably won't actually allow visitors to enter the graveyard itself. It may include special effects such as fog generated by a fog machine, colored lighting, music and sound effects, etc.

You can find a very nice selection of high quality tombstones and monuments on the internet. We found an incredibly spooky gothic style entrance way and fence columns made of high density urethane for your Halloween graveyard. Below are just a few of our favorite designs, but with the selection out there, you'll have a hard time deciding on what to get.
