Grave Marker Rules and Regulations

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.

Granite Colors for Markers

The miniature granite markers color samples can be designed to any size you require.

There are numerous granite grave marker color samples available to help you select in a variety of designs.

Granite grave markers colors prices are based on size, color, photos, colorization, lawn mower proof edges, beveled edges and any other special requests.

Granite colors along with a particular type of font can really enhance a grave marker. Also if one wishes to have a color porcelain photo attached then the color of the granite will not matter. However if you wish to have a laser photo added to a granite marker then the color black is the best possible color available.
