How To Order A Monument
We know that ordering a memorial is not an easy task. Our skilled and educated team will guide you through the process. Please look over this page for a quick review of what to consider when ordering a monument.
Flat markers (Grassers) are memorials that you see “flush” with the ground. They are made of granite, Georgia Marble, or bronze. They are most common in the “flush or flat” sections of the cemeteries.

Bevels are memorials that are slightly taller in the back than the front and have a “beveled” lettering face. They are 6–8 inches at their tallest point in the back and around 4–6 inches at the front. They are sold in granite or Georgia Marble.
|
Slants are memorials that are wedge shaped. They normally stand about 16 inches tall and give you a slanted front and straight backside that you can letter. They can be purchased in granite or Georgia Marble as well as with or without a base.
|
Upright memorials are most common. They typically have two parts consisting of a tablet and a base. They come in standard, special, and custom shapes and offer more area for lettering and design. These types of memorials are made of granite or Georgia Marble.

Bench memorials are becoming more popular to our customers. Styles vary from common flat bench, pedestal, cremation and park benches. These memorials are made of granite only.
|
Cremation memorials are great for single/double plot owners, they commonly hold 2-4 urns. The doors (typically black) will be sealed after inurnment and will display names and date for your loved ones. These memorials are made of granite only.

Add a personal touch with a porcelain photo that is built to last for several years . Our photos come in several sizes in an oval, rectangle or heart shape.
Laser etchings ( Midnight Black granite only) are often used to replicate exact, good quality photos of people or aerial images. They are created when a high-wattage laser burns the surface of the granite to create a permanent image.
|
Add a vase to your monument. Our vases come in marble, granite (tapered or round) and metal.
Hand-diamond etchings (BLACK GRANITE ONLY -Midnight Black granite recommended for best quality) are created when the artist physically scratches the surface of the stone with a diamond tipped drawing tool.
|
Add a bronze to your monument. There is a wide variety of bronze items to choose from such as plaques, plates or emblems. These can easily be attached to your new or existing monument. |
