Single Upright: Upright headstones are the most common type of cemetery memorial used today. A single upright is usually used for a single plot and consists of 2 pieces. The top piece is much larger and is called a "die." The die is typically 24" tall x 8" thick x 20" wide but can be custom made to any size. The bottom piece is known as a "base" and is typically 6" tall x 12" thick x 32" wide.
Companion Upright: A companion upright is usually used for a double plot and consists of 2 pieces. Sizes vary.
Slant Marker: Slant markers typically stand 16" to 18" in height with the front slanting or sloping back at a 45 degree angle.
Flush Marker: Granite markers lay flush with the ground. They are generally 24" x 14" but can be larger or smaller depending upon individual cemetery or memorial park requirements.
Memorial Bench: Granite memorial benches serve as enduring memorials dedicating a park or other suitable location. They can also be used as cemetery memorials. Granite benches are growing in popularity as they are functional and beautiful.
Bronze Marker: Bronze memorial cast out of bronze. Bronze markers are mounted to either a granite or cement base which serves as a foundation. Mike's Laser Etching does not offer bronze markers as of this time.
Mausoleum: A private mausoleum is a granite building with stained glass windows and a bronze door. There are also smaller versions available without doors or windows. Mike's Laser Etching does not offer masoluems as of this time.
Ledgers: Memorials that cover an entire grave. Although they are low to the ground, their size allows for extensive decoration and long inscriptions. Mike's Laser Etching does not offer bronze markers as of this time.
