Monuments Can Home One To Twelve People
Family or Estate Monuments
These monuments typically display a family name. Multiple ledgers, bevel markers, slant markers or flat markers represent individual members of the family.
Companion Monuments
These monuments typically have inscription panels on the face of the monument for individuals.
Individual Monuments
These monuments are typically smaller and are ideal for individuals. It is possible to place inscriptions on one of these monuments for two individuals if space is available.
Half Serpentine Monuments
These monuments may be created for family or estate monuments, individual monuments, or companion monuments. Depending on the arrangement of the inscriptions and markers, it is also a nice way to feature vases for flowers.
Wing-Style Monuments
These are popular companion style monuments and present a nice opportunity for a flower vase.
Slant Markers
Slants get their name due to the slanted face. This face makes the monument easier to read as a visitor approaches the grave from a distance. These are available in single and double sizes.
Bevel Markers
Bevels get their name from the beveled or slanted face of the marker. This makes the monument easy to read when standing at the foot of the grave site.
Flat Markers
Flat markers, also called grass markers or flush markers, are flat or flush against the grass at the grave site.
Ledgers
A ledger, a thick slab of stone usually eight inches thick, covers the entire grave. You can have ledger markers engraved and used as the headstone itself.
Etchings
Etchings, typically placed on black stones, add a unique touch to a headstone or marker. Our team can etch designs by hand with a diamond tipped tool or with the use of a laser. Etching may be high contrast black and white, or they may be in color.
Benches
Benches allow a way to remember a loved one in a non-traditional setting such as a courtyard or public area. Some cemetery lots may be large enough to allow a bench. Customize a bench with engraving, carving designs, and laser etching.
Mausoleums or Crypts
Mausoleums, or crypts, vary in size. Some may be large enough to walk into, allowing room for one to 12 spaces depending upon the size.
Columbarium or Cremation Monument
Some monuments are specially designed for cremains. Two examples of these specific models are the small cremation bench and the larger columbarium.

There are many techniques for finishing the surface of a granite memorial. This is often determined by the type and color of granite as well as the memorial design.
Polished Finish
Abrasives are rubbed on the surface of the stone with high-speed polishing wheels to create a polished surface
Sawed, Steeled, Frosted
This matte finish is created by sawing the surface. It may also be accomplished by sandblasting the surface with steel shot, or by frosting it with sandblast sand.
Polished Margin
The surface is polished and a panel area is frosted, making a place for lettering.
