Choosing the right stone is the first step toward a memorial that endures
Every granite we carry is sourced from quarries that meet our standards for density, grain consistency, and long-term weather resistance under Utah’s freeze-thaw cycles. Our team can provide sample chips at your free consultation.
Each profile has its own visual character and practical considerations
The most traditional form — a vertical stone with a rounded or shaped top, standing proud above the grave.
Chamfered shoulder edges give this upright a refined architectural precision. Slightly angled top sheds rainwater efficiently.
An angled face presents inscriptions naturally to the visitor. The sloped profile is graceful and easy to read from the path.
A low-profile stone set at or slightly above grade. Required or preferred by many Utah cemeteries. Durable and permanent.
A full-length stone covering the grave. Provides the greatest surface area for inscriptions, family names, and imagery.
Details that make a memorial truly your own
A hand-forged iron hook set beside the stone, for hanging lanterns, wreaths, or floral arrangements throughout the seasons.
A granite-fitted bronze or stainless vase recessed directly into the stone, providing a secure, permanent place for fresh flowers.
A fired ceramic portrait medallion adhered directly to the stone. Weather-resistant and permanent, preserving a likeness for generations.
Cast bronze emblems for military branches, religious symbols, fraternal organizations, and custom motifs. Mounted flush to the stone surface.
A separate matching granite base with a removable vase, placed at the foot of the monument. Available in all stone colors.
Hand-engraved borders in classic, floral, or geometric patterns frame the inscription panel and add a distinguished finishing detail.
A discreet solar-powered LED lantern that charges by day and emits a soft warm glow at dusk. Stakes anchor it beside the stone securely.
Custom imagery — landscapes, wildlife, religious scenes, floral patterns — sandblasted directly into the polished face of the stone.
