When commemorating the life of a loved one, choosing the right grave marker is an essential part of creating a lasting tribute. At Delphos Granite Works, one of the largest monument companies in Northwest Ohio with over 35 locations, we offer various options to honor your loved ones with dignity and respect.

Types of Grave Markers Available

Grave markers come in several styles, each with unique characteristics:

Flat Markers: These lie flush with the ground and are often chosen for their simplicity and practicality. They require minimal maintenance and are typically more affordable than upright monuments.

Bevel Markers: Slightly raised above ground level, bevel markers offer more visibility than flat markers while maintaining a low profile. These elegant options provide additional space for personalization.

Slant Markers: With their angled face, slant markers are more visible than flat or bevel styles while using less material than full upright monuments. This makes them both distinctive and economical.

Upright Monuments: Traditional upright headstones provide the most space for personalization and are available in standard and custom designs to reflect the individuality of your loved one.

Personalization Options

At Delphos Granite Works, we understand that each memorial tells a unique story. Our grave markers can be personalized through:

• Artwork: Choose from deep cut sandblasting, laser etching, or diamond etching techniques to add meaningful imagery.
• Various Granite Colors: Select from a wide range of beautiful, durable granite colors to create the perfect memorial.
• Custom Inscriptions: Meaningful epitaphs, dates, and personal messages can be artistically inscribed by our experienced craftsmen.

Why Quality Matters

Since 1991, Delphos Granite Works has continued a 120-year legacy of craftsmanship that began with J.G. Birkmeier in 1880. Unlike many funeral homes that outsource stonework, we complete all important work in our own factory, combining modern technology with old-world artisanship.

Our markers are created to withstand the test of time, using only the highest quality materials that resist weathering and maintain their beauty for generations.
