Types of Cemetery Stones

A cemetery stone is a type of marker that lets you find the grave of your loved one easily. The stones come in many different types, so you can find the perfect stone to have engraved and placed on the grave of those who passed.

• A Mausoleum is the most extravagant type of cemetery stone available. They are very large pieces of stone that a person is buried inside of. The Mausoleum can be very large with windows or doors or small enough to fit a single person inside.


• A Flush is a simple type of cemetery stone. The stone lays flat on the ground and is engraved with information of the deceased. The size of the stone varies depending on personal preference, but they are all generally similar in appearance.


• A Bevel Marker is a slanted stone. It rises above the ground, but the top is significantly higher than the bottom. The stone is fairly simple and is typically engraved with text only.


• A Slant Marker sits up in a vertical direction. The design of the stone is similar to a Bevel Marker, but it is much larger and has a base below the stone to hold it up higher in the air.


• A Traditional Monument is the most common type of cemetery stone. The stone sits completely upright and has a base below holding the stone in place. This type of stone is available in a large variety of shapes and sizes. It can be engraved with both texts and pictures.
