You may be thinking of ways to remember your loved one. Whether that person is your spouse, parent, relative, or best friend, you want to create something special that honors their memory. But before you settle on something, you should browse our vast collection of commemorative ideas.
We offer you a list of options to choose from. Our collection includes gravestones, headstones, grave markers, tombstones and granite plaques. Design styles include upright, slanted, and ledger grave markers.
Upright Headstones, like most other commemorative pieces, are usually composed of granite or marble. The term “upright” describes it all. The stone stands perfectly erect and usually bears the name of your loved one in bold print for everyone to see.
Slanted Tombstonesare vertical from behind but are slanted at an angle. The strong backing secures the stone and gives it more leverage from below. Even though its design is smaller in nature, the inscription remains prominent. You can see the name of the person from a distance. This one is small and simple, which makes it perfect for honoring an individual.
Ledger Markersare flat and lay right into the ground. This style is flexible enough for many sizes. If you only want to display basic information such as a name or date, you can go small. But if you wish to customize something more for your loved one, you can size it up. You can create enough room for an engraved image or an epitaph.
We have different styles for your needs. We specialize in customizing a gravestone to honor each person. Popular themes surround those who have given their lives to protect others, such as war tributes. We have options for fallen officers as well as firefighters.
But that’s not all. Our vast collection includes group burial options for families. You can choose a mausoleum or a simple family plot. We even have choices for couples and small families.
Two of the most popular items used in designing a grave are bronze and granite. Each set their own somber tone in honoring a memory. You can order a bronze plaque with dark brown etching as a commemorative piece for your loved one. This custom piece comes with removable plates that allow you to add information such as dates for a surviving spouse. Bronze is highly durable and built to last.
Both granite and bronze are standard materials accepted by most cemeteries. Each are easy to maintain and keep clean, plus you can add features over time. The key difference is that bronze can age faster than granite and change colors over time. With granite, you don’t have to worry. Unlike anything metal, its appearance remains the same for many years to come.
We ensure that the bronze or granite plaque we make will always adorn your wall and give you vivid, beautiful memories of the treasured moments. Our quality is the best in Moonachie, NJ, and the surrounding areas.
Burial monuments that are left unattended are subjected to wear and tear. Our restoration services begin with a basic cleaning to remove any dirt or soot from the site. We can even remove mildew and tough mold to restore any final resting place. From there, you can have any grave design restored to its original state. Your loved one’s plot will be to spot at a distance during visitation. We can repair cracks and replace any gravestone as needed.
There are different types of lettering fonts you can choose to express how you feel. Smooth flowing italics add a soft touch while a bold Roman style adds strength to any commemorative piece. Classic or Gothic style lettering allow you to see a name from a distance.
There are two types of etching: hand and laser. A hand style is used for black granite and adds more depth and contrast. But if you want something more convenient, a laser style is best. The laser method is good for transferring photos and adding color. This option is cheaper and less time-consuming than a hand style.
Mausoleums are excellent as private burial sites which allow families to remain together through eternity. There are several styles to choose from. A sarcophagus or small walk-in are perfect for individuals and small families. Large extended families may benefit from a large walk-in or an estate inside a private garden. You can give the ones you care about the option to rest in peace any way they choose.
