Each "Cemetery" will have their own rules and regulations in regard to placement of granite or bronze grave markers or a combination thereof.
It would be prudent to check with the "Cemetery" first before ordering a grave marker. Some "Cemeteries" will allow only bronze markers.
Others will allow placement of either granite or bronze markers.
Furthermore size plays an important part of the ordering process. The most common sizes in the industry are either a 24 x 12 or a 28 x 16. However there are many other sizes available.
Memorial Parks also will set up restrictions, on type or designs, allowed in certain areas. Parks, which do this, are usually restricting it to a copyrighted design, which almost forces you to order the grave memorial from them. Make sure to ask the right questions before making a selection of cemetery property for your memorial estate.

Designing a Granite Grave Marker
These are some of the areas of concern for families when they decide to order a grave marker for their loved ones grave site.
DESIGN
See our granite flat memorials; many designs to mark your grave site for eternity. When choosing a grave marker design consider perhaps some of the hobbies or work the person was involved with. By thinking about these areas you might incorporate it into the actual design therefore personalizing the grave marker to the individual.
COLOR
Select a stone color; Black, Oxford Gray or Custom Color Upgrade II or III (see pricing)n the past the most traditional color of granite chosen was black granite. Today, however with such a vast selection of granite colors available the family has many options of colors to choose from.
TEXT STYLE
Pick a text style. This will convey either a masculine or feminine look. The type of font that one chooses, (eg; roman, arial italic, chauncery)can really make a granite grave marker really stand out. Most time we would suggest two different types of fonts to give it the contrast desired.
EMBLEMS
Choose emblems and/or separators between numbers and/or text. Emblems can be anything from fraternal, religious, to hobbies that speak out about the individual.
PHOTOS
See our selection of ceramic photos or provide your own personal photo. Photos can be made in heart, oval or rectangular shape. Photos are a way of letting family or friends remember their loved ones face.
