Slant Memorials
A Slant Memorial features a steep pitch from back to front, with a larger polished face compared to Flush-in-the-Ground markers or Bevel Memorials. It is installed on an in-ground, level foundation, possibly with an additional base, and is positioned at the head of the grave space.
Full Upright Memorial
Upright Memorials
In contrast, a Full Upright Memorial represents the largest and most prevalent above-ground memorial. Comprising three pieces – the tablet (upper section usually containing all the lettering), a base directly beneath the tablet, and a foundation placed level in the ground.
The majority of Upright Memorials feature the individual’s name(s), significant dates (birth, passing, marriage), and designs that resonate with the individual(s) or their family. Design choices encompass traditional options with lower detail, deep cuts utilizing natural coloration and shadow to enhance the image, as well as laser options characterized by high detail, low-depth cuts relying on high relief granites to bring our intricate images.
