Cemetery monuments range from flat, beveled or slant markers that lie on the ground to elaborate, multi-piece upright monuments. Where cemetery regulations allow, monuments may also include crosses, statues and flower vases.
Most monuments are made from granite because of its durability, its reasonable price and its availability in a wide range of colors. Bronze is often used for flat markers and for embellishments to monuments.
Granite and marble comes in different qualities, some of which may not be suitable for cemetery memorials. A reputable monument builder will be able to show you fine quality granites and marble that will accept different styles of lettering and design work. Be sure to look at quality, finish and design, as well as size, if you are comparing prices.
Your monument builder should have an extensive display of monuments. This allows you to see a variety of colors, shapes, and lettering styles that are available.
Cost
Monuments are priced according to size, color of material used, design and installation cost, plus whatever applicable cemetery charges are involved.
Styles of Monuments
Cemetery monuments come in a wide variety of styles, shapes and sizes. Slant style, single double, upright and large plot sized monuments are also available. They can be personalized with symbols or inscriptions.
Warranties
Most monument builders will warranty their finished product against defects in material, workmanship, and installation. Consult with your monument builder about his warranty.
