Granite Markers for Cemeteries in the Delaware Valley
Granite grave markers provide a subtle, low-profile alternative to traditional upright monuments. These minimalist headstones sit low to the ground, offering a clean aesthetic in harmony with the natural landscape of the cemetery. Granite headstones are available as completely flat stones that sit flush with the earth, or as beveled markers, which feature a slight slope where the back edge rests two inches higher than the front for more distant visibility. Because of their compact design, granite markers are highly affordable gravestones. This allows for more of the budget to be applied to engraving details when desired.
Despite having a smaller footprint, granite markers offer ample space to create a highly personalized tribute to your loved one. The durable surface can accommodate intricate designs that reflect personality and passions, as well as meaningful quotes, verses, or phrases. During our collaborative planning process, our consultant will guide you through the various design elements available for a granite marker, including:
- Selecting a flat marker or elevated beveled design
- Working with the surface area to include artwork, borders, and other engraving choices
- Individual or companion sizes for single or double cemetery plots
- Beautiful granite colors of gray, brown, red, or black
- Textured border treatments and sleek or rugged finish options
- Custom lettering layouts for names, dates, and meaningful epitaphs
