We are here to help you make meaningful decisions

Flat Markers

This type of marker is called a grass marker, level marker, or flat marker. Level markers are set flush in the ground which simplifies cemetery maintenance.
The marker may be made of granite, bronze, or a combination. Markers are made in a variety of shapes but are usually 2' by 1' for a single grave space or 4' x 1' for a double grave space. Flat markers are typically 4" thick. Markers may be designed with a cutout or fitting for a flower vase. Flat markers can be personalized utilizing a wide variety of designs and wording.
When placed at the head of the grave a flat marker is referred to as a Head Marker. When placed of the foot of the grave it's referred to as a Foot Marker. A flat marker can also be added to the foot of a grave that has another type of marker at the head.

Ledger Markers

Ledgers are thick slabs of rock, typically granite.  Ledgers cover the entire grave surface. A ledger marker is set on curbing which surrounds the grave plot. Ledgers may be used alone or may be used in conjunction with headstones or other memorial objects. A ledger panel is sometimes made up of a number of smaller panels that are joined together. A ledger panel typically about 2" thick but ledgers come in a number of sizes, styles, and thicknesses. In the case of a grave site that is to be used for 2 people, the ledger panels can be made to be removable for the second burial.​

Bevel Markers

Bevel markers are also called pillows. They are low markers, with a slightly tilted faces.  Typically there is an approximate 2" difference in height from front to rear of the face. Because bevel markers sit above ground level they easier to locate from a distance. Bevel Markers can be completely polished or have a polished face and rock pitched sides. We offer many sizes, colors and design options for these markers including double bevel markers. Bevel markers can be etched or sandblasted.

Slant Markers

​A slant stone is typically made of granite. The face of the slant is an angle of about 60 degrees. These markers are in the upright family of memorials. Slant markers allow more room for creative images and lettering. The top of a slant monument may be straight or creatively shaped. The front and back of the marker can be used for design. The slant marker's face is usually polished while the sides and top are usually rock pitched though they be polished. A slant may be placed on a base. Some cemeteries require a base to avoid damage by the lawn equipment. Upright markers like the slant are more commonly thought of as monuments in that there is a two piece set including the base and the upright. The slant's base gives this monument greater strength and stability.
