In a field filled with gray granite gravestones, each departed soul dots the landscape as just another rock in the ground. But Greg Lundgren, the owner of Lundgren Monuments in Seattle, wants to change the cemetery into a sculpture park of individuality. Lundgren makes headstones & monuments out of glass. They are clear or translucent & gleam in the sun & the rain, while their granite counterparts stand sullenly. "What we're really looking to do is to revolutionize the cemetery," Lundgren said. People who order from us want to remember their lost ones with something unique, he said. Many clients are parents whose children died young. They want to honor bright spirits & personality. "We live in a world where you can get 100 choices of cell phones, 200 choices of ice cream," Lundgren said. "We're seeing a society that really cherishes customizing."
