Monuments & Headstones
Memorials crafted to endure
Every family is different, and every memorial we make is too. Below are the kinds of tributes we offer — each one a starting point for a conversation, never a sales pitch.
The classic tribute, standing tall through the years
Upright Monuments
Upright monuments are the most traditional and recognizable form of memorial. Set on a sturdy granite base, they offer generous room for names, dates, meaningful symbols, and the words that matter most to your family.
- Single and companion sizes
- Polished or rustic finishes
- Room for carved designs and verses
- Matched granite base included
A personal tribute for one beloved life
Single Headstones
A single headstone honors one person's story. We help you choose the shape, stone, and inscription that feel right — from simple and understated to richly carved with the imagery of a life well lived.
- Many shapes and sizes
- Custom lettering styles
- Flower vase options
- Portrait and etching available
Together in life, remembered together
Companion Headstones
Companion headstones honor two people side by side on a single stone — a lasting symbol of a life shared. Designs often join two names with wedding dates, rings, or a scene that was meaningful to both.
- One shared stone and base
- Balanced two-name layouts
- Space for a future inscription
- Symbolic joined designs
Simple, graceful, and close to the earth
Flat Grave Markers
Flat markers rest level with the lawn, offering a quiet and graceful remembrance. Many cemeteries prefer them, and they remain a beautiful way to mark a resting place with dignity.
- Granite or bronze
- Single and companion sizes
- Meets cemetery requirements
- Optional flower vase
An angled face that is easy to read
Slant Monuments
Slant monuments rise gently from the ground with a beveled face, making the inscription easy to read while keeping a modest profile. They may be set with or without a base to suit the cemetery and your preference.
- Sloped, easy-to-read face
- With or without base
- Generous inscription area
- Serpentine or straight top

A place to sit, remember, and be near
Granite Benches
A granite bench offers something unique — a place where family and friends can sit, reflect, and feel close to the one they miss. Crafted from solid granite, benches endure beautifully for generations.
- Solid granite construction
- Engraved seat or backrest
- Cemetery or garden placement
- A gathering place for family
A guardian of stone, watching over them
Angel Memorials
Angel memorials are among the most moving tributes a family can choose. Carved from enduring granite, an angel stands as a gentle guardian — a symbol of comfort, protection, and peace that lasts for generations.
- Fully sculpted or relief-carved
- Polished granite base
- Sizes from tabletop to estate
- A deeply personal statement of faith
Shaped by meaning, not by convention
Specialty-Shaped Monuments
Some lives are best remembered in a shape all their own — a heart, a cross, a book, a tree. Specialty-shaped monuments let the form itself carry the meaning, crafted in polished granite to stand for generations.
- Hearts, crosses, books, and more
- Custom-cut silhouettes
- Polished or rock-pitch edges
- Designed around your story
The finishing touch of beauty and care
Vases & Statuary
Granite vases and statuary complete a memorial with beauty and grace — a place for fresh flowers, a sculpted lamb, a small figure that meant something to your family. Each piece is crafted to endure alongside the stone.
- Matched granite flower vases
- Sculpted lambs and figures
- Permanent and weatherproof
- Pairs with any monument style
