Memorial Types

At Art In Stone, we offer a wide range of memorial types to honor your loved ones. Every memorial can be personalized with engraved portraits, custom artwork, lettering, and other design elements, creating a meaningful and lasting tribute. From simple flush markers to elaborate family monuments and mausoleums, each memorial can reflect the life, legacy, and heritage of those it commemorates.

Flush markers are level with the ground, with only the polished face visible, offering a simple yet elegant memorial. A traditional flush marker typically displays the individual’s name and birth and passing dates, and can also be personalized with portraits, artwork, or unique lettering styles. Flush markers are available in a variety of granite and marble colors to suit any aesthetic.

Pillow markers are low-profile stones with gently rounded or curved tops, creating a soft and elegant appearance. Unlike slant markers, which feature an angled face for greater visibility, pillow markers sit closer to the ground for a more subtle presence. They can be customized with engraved portraits, artwork, and lettering, and are available in a variety of granite and marble colors.

Slant markers feature a gently angled face, combining visibility with a lower-profile design. They can be set on a base for added presence and are available in a variety of shapes, finishes, and granite and marble colors. Slant markers can be personalized with engraved portraits, artwork, and lettering for one or multiple individuals.

Single upright monuments are a versatile choice for honoring one individual. They feature a vertical design that can vary in height and style, offering a prominent and enduring tribute. Single uprights can be personalized with engraved portraits, custom artwork, distinctive lettering, and other decorative elements. Available in a variety of granite and marble colors, they provide both durability and elegance.

Companion uprights honor two or more individuals, most often spouses or close family members. Typically placed over adjacent graves, these monuments can be customized with engraved portraits, artwork, lettering, and unique shapes. They are offered in a range of granite and marble colors, creating a lasting tribute that reflects shared lives and enduring bonds.

Memorial benches provide a place to sit, reflect, and remember a loved one. Crafted from granite or marble, benches are available with or without a seatback and in a variety of colors and finishes. They can stand alone or complement a larger monument, and some designs include niches for cremated remains. Bench memorials can be personalized with engraved portraits, artwork, lettering, and other decorative elements.

Family monuments honor multiple generations and can range from simple stones to large, ornate memorials. A central monument typically marks the family plot with the family name and heritage, while smaller markers can memorialize individual members—or all names can be engraved on the main stone. These monuments can be customized with portraits, artwork, unique shapes, and lettering, and are available in a variety of granite and marble colors.

Bronze plaques provide a durable and elegant memorial option. Crafted in collaboration with U.S. foundries, plaques can be personalized with relief carvings,engraved photos, emblems, and a variety of font styles. Many designs also include removable or hidden flower vases. Bronze plaques are suitable for personal memorials as well as public or private spaces such as schools, parks, or municipalities.

Mausoleums provide a dignified, above-ground option for entombment and are considered one of the most prestigious forms of memorialization. Custom-designed to accommodate one or multiple interments, they are available in a variety of architectural styles, finishes, and granite and marble colors. Each mausoleum can include carved or etched details, creating a lasting tribute that honors the individuals it shelters while reflecting family heritage and taste.
