TYPES OF MEMORIALS
SINGLE
Single memorials mark an individual plot and come in a variety of styles, such as monuments, markers, benches, and cremation memorials. With a very diverse collection of shapes, sizes, and granite colors to choose from, each style can be personalized to create a Forever Memory that is as simple or as intricate as you desire.
COMPANION
Companion memorials mark a dual cemetery plot and feature the family name. Like with individual monuments and markers, these come in a wide range of styles, each of which can be customized to create a beautiful tribute that appropriately celebrates the family it represents.
VETERAN
Military memorials are meant to honor those brave men and women who have selflessly defended our country and protected our freedoms. This type of memorial remembers a courageous life and pays special tribute to the service and sacrifice of our veterans.
CHILD
There is no greater loss than that of a child. This type of memorial can be tailored to capture the unique spirit of your little one. We would love to help you design the perfect Forever Memory to commemorate the precious life of your child and bring a sense of comfort and peace to you and your family.
UPRIGHT
MONUMENTS
STANDARD • CUSTOM • PLURA • SCULPTED
Monuments have long been a timeless tribute in celebration of a life worth remembering. Our memorials are custom made from only the highest quality granite. This stone is one of the oldest and strongest on earth, giving your monument the durability to last a lifetime and beyond. Granite is also the perfect medium for incorporating design techniques such as artwork, etchings, engravings, and sculpting, so with a diverse range of sizes, shapes, and colors to choose from, your monument possibilities really are endless.
BRONZE
MARKERS
SINGLE • COMPANION • VETERAN
Bronze markers sit flush to the ground with a beautiful bronze plaque mounted on top of a granite base marker. These memorials are typically rectangular in shape with a polished top standard color granite as a base; however, special cut designs can be selected to create a unique memorial for you or a loved one. Bronze markers are more expensive than other varieties of this same style and are often selected when a cemetery only permits memorials of a specific size, finish, color, and style.
GRANITE
MARKERS
FLAT • BEVELED • SLANTED
Markers provide simple elegance at a more affordable price than other types of memorials. These are typically rectangular in shape, although they can incorporate specialty-cut designs for a more unique appearance. Because many cemeteries now regulate the style, size, finish, color, and in rare circumstances, even the designs that are permitted, we always confirm each order with the respective cemetery before initiating the production process.
MEMORIAL
BENCHES
GRAVESIDE • CREMATION • DEDICATION
A bench memorial is perfect as a stand alone grave stone, as well as a complementary companion piece where you can rest comfortably while visiting your loved one. The combination of functionality and beauty will give your memorial that special personal touch, while providing plenty of space for you to include names, dates, pictures, and custom designs. Benches not only make elegant graveside memorials, but they are a wonderful option for cremation niches and commemorative memorials too.

CREMATION
MEMORIALS
URNS • NICHES • MONUMENTS • BENCHES
As cremation has become increasingly popular, so has the growing selection of styles to hold a person's ashes. Not only are there countless urns to choose from, but now there are monuments, benches, niches, and outdoor structures designed to encase the cremation urn as well. Cremation monuments are available in many shapes and sizes, and like traditional monuments, these can be located in cemeteries at the graveside or as structures that permanently house the urns in individual panels known as niches. Another option available is to place the ashes within a natural structure so that they may be memorialized in a place that is near and dear to the person being remembered.
MEMORIAL
ACCESSORIES
VASES • PICTURES • LIGHTS • FLAG CASES
An accessory such as a vase can transform your beautiful memorial into the perfect tribute to celebrate the life of someone you love. Depending on your need, there are a variety of metal and granite vases for you to choose from, so whether you are purchasing a new memorial or looking to add a vase to an existing monument or marker, we can help you find the perfect match. Granite vases come in either a rectangular tapered style or a round turned style, and can be done in any of the granite colors that we offer. Another special way to personalize your memorial is by adding a porcelain picture. These heartfelt portraits are typically oval-shaped ceramic frames that are secured to the monument or marker, ensuring that the memory of you or your loved one will never be forgotten.
