Choosing the right grave marker is one of the most meaningful decisions a family can make when honoring a loved one. At Delphos Granite Works, we understand the weight of that responsibility, and we are here to guide you every step of the way — from the first conversation to the final installation.
What Are Grave Markers?
Grave markers are memorials placed at a burial site to identify and honor the person laid to rest. They come in a wide variety of styles, materials, and sizes to suit different preferences and cemetery requirements. Whether simple or ornate, every marker serves as a permanent symbol of remembrance.
Types of Grave Markers Available
Delphos Granite Works offers a wide selection of memorial options to meet every family's needs:
- Flat Markers – Placed flush with the ground, these are a practical and elegant choice that many cemeteries require or prefer.
- Bevel Markers – Slightly raised at one end for visibility, these offer a classic look with plenty of room for personalization.
- Slant Markers – Angled upright for easy readability, slant markers provide a distinguished appearance at an accessible price point.
- Upright Monuments – A traditional and timeless option, these stand tall as a bold tribute to the life being honored.
Personalizing Your Grave Marker
One of the most powerful aspects of a grave marker is the ability to make it uniquely personal. Delphos Granite Works offers three distinct artwork techniques to bring your vision to life:
- Deep Cut – Sandblasted designs suitable for any granite color.
- Laser Etching – Highly detailed photo-quality images burned directly into black granite.
- Diamond Etching – Hand-engraved artwork where color can also be applied for a truly one-of-a-kind memorial.
From meaningful symbols to portraits and epitaphs, the personalization options are virtually limitless.
