Flat, Beveled, Upright, or Slanted Marker? The Choice is Yours

Flat and beveled markers are low to the ground. The backs are raised higher than the front, creating an upright effect.

Upright markers stand vertically. Otherwise referred to as monuments, they are commonly made up of a base and a tablet.

A slanted marker is an upright monument with a slanted front. The angle of the slanted monument makes them easy to read.

Choose the Right Color of Granite to Memorialize Your Loved One

Most experts recommend choosing a dark or black granite on which to etch engravings. Darker-colored granites are ideal for inscriptions and etching because they provide significant distinction for the design. Also, the quality is generally fine enough to support a readable inscription.

Memorial granite colors such as Impala Black and India Black are prominent at many cemeteries. Often, granite colors coincide with the person’s personality for whom the memorial is or was designed.

We offer various granite monuments to choose from, including traditional upright markers, slant markers, flat markers, and bevel markers. These granite monuments are manufactured in an array of different colors:

Impala Black

India Black

Colonial Rose

India Red

Salisbury Pink

Bahama Blue

Blue Pearl

Dakota Mahogany

Mountain Rose

Wausau Red

Barre Grey

Canadian Pink

Grey Mist

Paradiso

Granite Memorials: Formed by Nature, Sculpted by Craftsmen to Last

Granite is a naturally occurring stone, formed for several millennia under intense pressure. Found under the Earth’s crust, magma or lava cools, then solidifies to create this mineral. Granite was a popular stone during the Victorian period and continues to be so today.

One reason for granite’s popularity is because of the variety of colors and crystalline textures. Another reason stems from its durability. Granite is able to withstand the elements of nature. From temperature extremes to acid rain pollution, it is unique because of its heft. Finally, granite requires minimal maintenance.
