Types of Monuments
Cemetery memorials range from simple flat, beveled, or slant markers to elaborate multi-piece upright monuments. Many memorials can also feature crosses, statues, pictures, etchings, or vases.
Flat Markers
Also called “grass” or “foot” markers, these are typically 4″ thick and set flush with the ground.
Beveled Markers
Sometimes called “hickeys” or “pillows,” these markers have a slight slope, with the back a few inches taller than the front.
Slant Markers
These markers usually stand about 16″ above the ground, with a straight vertical back and a front sloping at 45 degrees. They can be set on a concrete foundation or a matching granite base.
Traditional Upright Monuments
Consisting of a die placed on a base, these two-piece memorials can be 6″, 8″, or 10″ thick and sit on a concrete foundation or granite cap. They come in a variety of styles, shapes, and sizes.
Shaped Monuments
Custom-designed in a wide range of shapes and sizes to meet your specific preferences.
Wing Monuments
A unique option for two people, consisting of three pieces set on a single base.
