MONUMENTS
Why Memorialize?
People visit cemeteries every single day of the year. They visit in every kind of weather. Why? Because they want to remember. Even the word "monument" is derived from the Latin "monere," meaning "to remind." A personalized memorial is a way to help family, friends, and others know a little more about this person, other than just their name and dates.

Monuments for a Single Grave Space
These are memorials that are to be placed on a single grave space in a cemetery. They are limited only by the cemetery size restrictions. The monument is generally for one person, unless there is a cremation and the cemetery would allow more than one burial in one grave space.
Monuments for Two Grave Spaces
These are memorials that are to be placed over two grave spaces in a cemetery. They are limited only by the cemetery size restrictions. These can be for one, two or more if there is a cremation and the cemetery rules allow multiple burials in two grave spaces.

These can be larger memorials because the space is larger. Traditionally a large family memorial is placed and footstones may be placed on each grave. Today, anything goes as long as the cemetery rules are followed.

"Selecting a marker or memorial is a very personal decision. We respect your right to ask questions, to be treated with dignity and sensitivity, and to take the time you need to make the right selection."
CREMATION MEMORIALS
Cremation memorials for cremains that will be interred in the ground, above the ground, scattered, or kept with a loved one.
​Creating a permanent memorial is still very important. A memorial provides a permanent place for family, friends, acquaintances and future generations to go to grieve and remember. There are several options of cremation memorials.

Will the cremains be In-Ground?
When cremains are interred (or buried) in the ground at a cemetery, families may choose from any memorial option that meets the cemetery’s regulations.
Will the cremains be interred in a monument above ground?
1. Do you want your choice of cremation easily identified?
​
For families that want their choice of cremation to be clearly identified, the use of a columbarium is appropriate. These are box-like memorials with doors that house the cremains behind in individual compartments. Families also have the option of using bronze on-site urns if the cemetery rules permit.
​
2. Would you prefer your choice of cremation not to be obvious?
​
​In this case, we can drill a hole in any 8" thick piece of granite and inter the cremains inside. The monument can be in any shape or size as long as it is large enough to accommodate the cremains.

Even in this case, creating a permanent memorial is important. People need a permanent place for friends, family, neighbors, aquaintences and future generations to go to grieve and remember. Your choices are limitless. You can still erect a memorial in a cemetery, or you may put a permanent remembrance in a park, sports complex, name a building, or put a piece of artwork in your home garden.
GARDEN TRIBUTES
Artistic memorials to be placed in non-traditional places. This is a creative way to honor and remember someone who is not near by in the privacy of your home or community park.
​These are art pieces that can be placed around your home or gardens in memory of someone special. They are not intended to mark a grave space but to provide a place to remember. Because they do not mark a grave, they can be easily moved to another location.
