Slant & Flat Markers

Slant & Flat Markers

Lower-profile memorials that sit at or near the ground, for cemeteries that ask for a marker rather than an upright, or for families who prefer an understated tribute that reads clearly and lasts.

What it is

Understated, and Just as Lasting

Not every cemetery allows an upright monument, and not every family wants one. Slant and flat markers sit low to the ground while still giving you room for a name, dates, and a few words of remembrance, hand-finished in the same premium granite as our larger work.

We make slant-faced markers that angle up for easy reading, flush markers that sit level with the lawn, beveled markers that rise just slightly, and cast-bronze markers on a granite base. We will tell you exactly what your cemetery permits before you decide.

The forms we make

Styles & Options

Slant Markers

A solid block of granite with a slanted face that angles toward you, so the inscription reads clearly while the marker still sits low and dignified.

Flush Markers

Set level with the ground for cemeteries that keep a clean, open lawn. Easy to maintain, and required by many memorial parks.

Bevel Markers

A low marker that rises just above the grass with a gently sloped top, a middle ground between a flush marker and a slant.

Bronze Markers

Cast-bronze lettering and borders mounted on a granite base, with raised designs that weather beautifully. Each catalog design can be personalized.

Common Questions

Tell us the cemetery and section, and we will check the rules for you. We work with cemeteries throughout Portage County and the surrounding region, and we handle the permits and foundation requirements so you do not have to.

Not at all. A marker carries the same care and the same custom design as our larger monuments: your choice of granite, lettering, and artwork, proofed with you before we cut it.
