What You Need to Know About... Memorials

Everyone wants to remember a loved one...just as much as everyone wants to be remembered by family and friends. Selecting a bronze or granite marker is an important step in creating a lasting memory.

There are a number of different styles of markers, and prices for them vary. You can choose a marker that lets you remember your loved one as you want to...and that fits your budget. Keep in mind, the cemetery has rules that limit which type of marker is permitted in different sections. Flush markers or upright granite markers not to exceed 16 inches in height are permitted in this section.

We offer markers at very competitive prices ...often lower than any other source. And because Graceland is a non-profit, church-owned cemetery, we do not add sales tax to the price you pay.

Here is some information to help you make the best choice.

Flush Markers:

Flush markers are made from bronze or granite and are set flush with the ground.
Bronze markers are set on either a concrete or granite base.

Bevel-Top Markers:

The bevel-top marker is made from granite and has a slightly sloped top. The granite is available in a number of different colors.

 

Slant-Face Markers:

The slant-face marker has a steeply sloped front. Like the bevel-top, the slant-face marker is also available in a variety of colors.

An important point to remember when selecting a marker is who will be responsible for it, once it has been installed. If you purchase your marker from Graceland, we take full responsibility for it. We make sure names and dates are correct and that the granite or bronze is of the highest quality. If there are any faults, we work with the manufacturer to correct the problem. It is much more difficult to get an outside vendor to come to the cemetery to deal with a problem.
Finally, Graceland is where your loved one will rest forever. We want to make our cemetery peaceful and dignified. When you purchase a granite or bronze marker from Graceland, you support the cemetery and help us create a lasting memory for your family
