Single Upright Monuments
Upright monuments are . . . well, upright! There is no slant to the die (or top part of the stone). Uprights allow for more design capabilities because of the extra space on the front and back. There are many sizes, shapes and designing options with uprights. Depending on the cemetery regulations, uprights may have a height limit.
Double Upright Monuments
(Also called companion monument) – Double monuments are commonly used for couples, close family members or multiple family members. Double monuments have the most space, so there are many sizes, shapes and designing options available. Depending on the cemetery regulations, uprights may have a height limit.
Memorial Bench
Memorial benches are a unique alternative to a traditional marker or monument and provide a place to sit and remember your loved one. Benches are not just limited to be placed in cemeteries. Some choose to place a bench in a garden or landscaping as a memorial for a loved one. Bench options can include a niche for cremated remains, backless or with a back, and many more other options. They come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors.

Carvings
Carvings are a design which is carved (or cut deep) into the granite. Whereas etching is very light, carvings are cut deeper and consist of outlines of the shapes, with more lines carved to form the details. For example, a rose leaf carving would have the leaf shape outline and then more carved lines in the middle to depict the detail of the leaf. Carvings can be done at varied depths to create different affects.
