Scroll down to view the various options.

Column

Family or Estate Monuments

These monuments typically display a family name and incorporate multiple ledgers, bevel markers, slant markers, or flat markers to represent individual members of the family.

Companion Monuments

These monuments typically have inscription panels on the face of the monument for individuals.

Half Serpentine Monuments

These monuments may be used for family or estate monuments, individual monuments, or companion monuments depending on the arrangement of the inscriptions and placement of markers or ledgers for individuals. It is also a nice way to feature a vase for flowers or a statue.

Wing-Style Monuments

These are popular companion style monuments and present a nice opportunity for a flower vase or statue.

Column

Slant Markers

These are called slants 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

These are called Bevels because of 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

These are also called grass markers or flush markers because they are flat or flush against the grass at the grave site.

Ledgers

Grave Ledgers, also called Covers, are ideal for use with family or estate monuments where individual graves need to be marked. These offer ample room for inscriptions and dates.

Column

Etchings

Etchings are typically placed on black stones and may be created by hand with a diamond-tipped tool or with the use of a laser. Etchings may be high contrast black and white, or they may be in color.

Benches

Benches are an ideal way to remember a loved one in a non-traditional setting such as a courtyard or other public areas. Some cemetery lots may be large enough to allow a bench.

Mausoleums or Crypts

These may be large enough to walk into and may provide room for one to twelve spaces depending upon the size.

Columbarium or Cremation Monument

Most of the monuments may be fitted with a cored space in the monument or base for storage of cremains. Some monuments, however, are specially designed for cremains. The small cremation bench and the larger columbarium shown below are examples of two alternatives.
