When memorializing a loved one, choosing the right grave marker is an important decision that deserves careful consideration. At Delphos Granite Works, with over four generations of experience crafting quality memorials, we understand the significance of this choice.

Types of Grave Markers

Flat Markers

Flat markers, also known as grass markers, lie flush with the ground. These economical options offer durability while maintaining a clean, understated appearance. Despite their smaller size, these markers can be personalized with various design elements and are available in multiple granite colors.

Bevel Markers

Bevel markers feature a slight raised angle, providing better visibility while remaining low to the ground. These markers combine the simplicity of flat markers with enhanced readability and architectural interest. At Delphos Granite Works, we offer these markers in various sizes and finishes to suit different preferences and cemetery requirements.

Customization Options
