Memorialization or the "marking of a grave or family estate" is a most important and lasting tribute when making final arrangements. Bronze Markers manufactured to Greenlawn Cemetery Standards will last thousands of years. One reason bronze is so highly valued for memorials is that its patina (green coloration over time) protects it against further corrosion. This natural patina seldom shows a tendency to flake. Patina is a chemical compound formed on the surface of of the bronze from exposure to the elements. They are very beautiful and often deliberately added by artists and metalworkers. Some famous bronze patinas are the Statue of Liberty and the Dome of the Murphy Courthouse.
