MARKERS
Flat Markers
Flat markers lie flush or nearly flush with the ground. They serve as a primary memorial, a companion piece alongside an upright, or wherever a quieter, lower-profile form fits the setting.

Bevel Markers
Bevel markers sit a few inches above grade with a gently angled top face. That slight tilt improves readability while keeping a modest, respectful profile.

Marker FAQs
What is a flat marker?
A flat marker lies flush or nearly flush with the ground. The top face is inscribed with names, dates, and any artwork. Used as a primary memorial, a companion piece alongside an upright, or anywhere a quieter, lower-profile form fits the design.
What is a bevel marker?
A bevel marker sits slightly above grade with a gently sloped top face. The back is taller than the front — typically a few inches — giving it a subtle wedge profile. The angled top face tilts toward the viewer, which improves readability compared to a flush flat marker.
How do bevel markers differ from flat markers?
Bevel markers rise above grade and have an angled top, while flat markers sit flush with the ground. Bevels offer slightly more presence and better sightline to the inscription. Both are considered low-profile options and are accepted in most sections that permit markers.
What sizes are available?
Standard markers run from about 12″ × 24″ for a single up to 24″ × 48″ or larger for companion or family layouts. Thickness is usually 4 or 6 inches.
Can I add artwork or a photo portrait?
Yes. Names, dates, epitaphs, sandblast designs, and etched portraits are all available on flat and bevel markers.
Are veteran markers free?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provides a government-furnished marker at no cost for eligible veterans. These are typically flat granite or bronze markers with standardized formatting. We can help determine eligibility and handle the application process.
Can a private marker be added alongside a government marker?
In many cases, yes. A private granite marker or monument can be placed in addition to a government-furnished marker, depending on the cemetery. We'll walk through what's allowed and how the two can work together in the space.
Do you handle installation of veteran markers?
Yes. We coordinate delivery and installation of both government-furnished markers and private veteran memorials. Contact us and we'll walk through the process.
