If you’re looking for an economical way to honor your deceased loved one, a grave marker is an ideal option. However, there are many different types of grave markers. So, before you place an order, you’ll need to decide which kind is right for you and your family.
Let’s review your options:

1. Granite Markers

Granite grave markers are the most popular type of marker in the US. They offer a beautiful and unique design that is almost impossible to chip, scratch, or stain. 
 
Granite markers are highly resistant to harsh weather like snow and hail. If properly maintained, they generally remain in excellent condition for decades. 

2. Marble Markers

Marble memorials were very popular in the early 20th century. That popularity was largely due to their elegant veining patterns and embedded shadings.
 
The popularity of marble grave markers has waned in recent years as people have realized they are not as durable or weather-resistant as their granite counterparts.

3. Bronze Markers

Bronze markers are much more durable than marble markers. They also offer endless etching and customization options.
 
However, grave markers do have one notable drawback. They tend to be much more expensive than granite alternatives.
