Memorials
Mausoleums:
A private mausoleum is a granite building, often with stained glass windows, statuary, and a bronze door. There are also smaller versions available without doors or windows.
Upright Monument:
Also referred to as gravestones, monuments, or tombstones, headstones are the most common type of cemetery memorial. A headstone is normally made up of two pieces. The top piece is called a “tablet”, and is set on a matching piece of granite known as a “base.”

Grass Marker:
Grass markers are also called footstones, flush markers, and grave markers. They lay flush with the ground. The typical size is 24" x 12", but can be larger depending upon individual cemetery requirements. All our markers are a minimum of 4" thick to prevent cracking or snapping.
