names and dates of birth and death. Marriage dates and verses are also commonly featured.

family monuments. They feature an individual's name, dates, and may also feature verses or other important information.

Wing-Style Monuments
Wing monuments consist of two wings on a base separated by a plinth or
pedestal supporting a vase. The plinth or the base may be used to display the family name while the two wings display the
individual names.

Slant Markers
Slant markers are cut with a slanted face that results in a taller monument than
bevel and flat markers. Slant markers are available in individual and companion styles.
|
Bevel Markers
Bevel markers feature a beveled or slanted face, and they are placed on a foundation
that raises them above the level of the lawn. They are available in individual and companion styles. They may also be used
with family monuments.
|
Flat Markers
Flat markers are available in individual and companion styles. They are installed
on a foundation that places them at the level of the lawn. They may be used with family monuments.

Crypts
A crypt, or small mausoleum may be designed for one or two crypts, which may be arranged
beside one another or one on top of the other.
|
Mausoleums
A mausoleum may be designed in a variety of configurations. There is usually room
for two to six crypts in a mausoleum. While the mausoleum remains relatively expensive when compared to other styles, it has
become less expensive and more practical with the development of automated stone processing equipment.
