MONUMENT STYLES

UPRIGHT MONUMENTS

THESE COME IN A WIDE VARIETY OF STYLES, SHAPES, AND SIZES. THEY PROVIDE A FULL RANGE OF CREATIVE AND PERSONALIZED DESIGNS. MONUMENTS LIKE THESE ARE TRULY WORKS OF ART

SLANTS

THESE ARE MIDWAY IN HEIGHT BETWEEN A LOWER BEVEL MARKER AND AN UPRIGHT MONUMENT. THE SURFACE OFFERS CONSIDERABLE SPACE FOR AN EXPRESSIVE DESIGN.

BEVELS

THESE ARE LOW, BUT NOT FLAT. THEY COME IN SINGLE AND DOUBLE SIZES AND CAN BE PERSONALIZED WITH SYMBOLS AND INSCRIPTIONS.

LEDGERS

THESE ARE IMPRESSIVE, AND COVER ALMOST THE ENTIRE GRAVE. THEY ALLOW EXTENSIVE DECORATION AND LETTERING. THEY ALSO COME IN A HALF SIZE.

FLAT MARKERS

THESE CAN BE PERSONALIZED, BUT THE DESIGN IS NATURALLY RESTRICTED BY THE SMALLER AREA. BECAUSE THEY LIE FLAT AND LEVEL WITH THE GROUND, THEY CAN BE HARDER TO FIND IN THE CEMETERY.

BRONZE MARKERS

THESE ARE USUALLY FLAT, BUT THE MATERIAL IS METAL INSTEAD OF GRANITE. THERE ARE SEVERAL DESIGN CHOICES, BUT SPACE IS VERY LIMITED ON THESE.

BENCHES

THESE ARE A NICE WAY TO MEMORIALIZE A LOVED ONE, AND CAN MAKE THE VISIT TO THE CEMETERY A BIT MORE PLEASANT FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T STAND FOR TOO LONG A TIME.
