Upright
Monuments

Upright monuments are a traditional memorial style that stand vertically on a base, making them easy to see and locate in the cemetery. Compared to flat markers, this design offers more space for names, dates, inscriptions and other decorative details. Many families choose upright headstones for their timeless appearance, strong presence, and greater opportunities for personalization.

Bench
Memorials

Bench memorials combine remembrance with function, offering a place to sit, reflect, and spend time in quiet thought. This style allows for inscriptions or designs while also creating a welcoming space for visitors. Bench memorials are often chosen by families who want a more interactive, peaceful tribute that encourages reflection and connection.

Slant
Markers

Slant markers feature a gently angled face offering a balance between flat and upright memorials. Their sloped design makes inscriptions easier to read while maintaining a lower profile. Slant markers provide ample space for names, dates, and personal details, making them a popular choice for families seeking a classic look with a more subtle presence.

Special Shape
Monuments

Special shape monuments are fully custom memorials designed to reflect a person’s life, passions, and personality. Unlike standard styles, these monuments can be created in unique shapes, designs, or themes, allowing for complete creative freedom. Families often choose custom monuments to create a one-of-a-kind tribute that tells a more personal story and stands apart from traditional memorial options.

Bevel
Markers

Bevel markers offer a subtle distinction from flush markers, as they rest above ground on a foundation with gently sloped edges. This raised design improves visibility while maintaining a clean and understated look. Bevel markers are a popular choice for families seeking a simple and traditional memorial that is easy to maintain while adhering to many cemetery guidelines.

Flush
Markers

Flush markers sit level with the ground, creating a clean, simple, and unobtrusive memorial. Their low-profile design blends naturally into the landscape while still providing space for essential inscriptions and personalization. Flush markers are often chosen for their ease of maintenance and affordability.
