Upright Monuments

Upright memorials (also called headstones and monuments) are the most common type of cemetery memorial. Upright memorials consist of at least 2 pieces. The larger top piece is the tablet or die. The bottom piece is known as a base.
​
The die can be polished, steeled or sawed. Dies are measured by length x width x height in increments of 2 inches. A die can have an oval, serpentine, flat or other custom top.

There are many different shapes, styles and sizes of headstones. Headstones can be shaped like boulders, rough slabs of granite, custom shaped, highly polished, partially polished, etched, etc. Almost any type of shape, style, and design can be accomplished with today's computerized technology and customized cutting machinery and laser etching.
