Your Journey to the Perfect Memorial

Our proven 5-step design process ensures every memorial perfectly captures your vision while honoring your loved one's legacy.

1. Understand Cemetery Requirements

Every cemetery has specific regulations regarding monuments—size restrictions, style limitations, and placement guidelines. We recommend contacting your cemetery directly to understand their requirements, or we're happy to help you navigate this process. Getting these details right from the start ensures a smooth journey from design to installation.

2. Choose Your Memorial Style

Select from our elegant collection of memorial styles, each designed to honor and remember your loved one in a distinctive way.

  • FLAT MARKER

    Flush with the ground and no elevation. Polished top, sawcut sides.
  • BEVEL MARKER

    Slight slope and raised from ground, easier to see from further away than the flush marker. Polished top, rock pitched sides.
  • SLANT ON BASE

    Large format with more surface area for larger lettering and custom designs. Stands out and creates prominence over the space. Room for engraving on front and back. Polished face, rock pitched sides. (Optional polished back if including verbiage.)
  • UPRIGHT MONUMENT

    Very prominent option with most room for verbiage and design on both front and back. Can easily be shaped into a variety of custom shapes. Polished front and back, rock pitched sides.
  • BENCH MEMORIAL

    Provides space to sit and reflect. We offer a variety of styles and shapes. Benches can have cremated remains placed in or below them.
  • CREMATION ESTATE

    Full sized cremation monuments are also known as an estate monument. Many beautiful styles to choose from. They can accommodate multiple urns.
3. Select the Right Size
