Arrange a grave unveiling

The unveiling of the tombstone might occur on the day of the burial afterwards. In South Africa, the event is often separate, taking place about a year later, so the family can give the occasion their full attention.
The tombstone will typically be completely covered while hymns or scriptures might be read. Once the unveiling is complete a celebration might begin.
Discuss the unveiling with the family and make sure you can afford it.
