The Help You Need to Find the Right Monument or Headstone
When choosing a stone memorial, one must consider many details, including monument size, shape, color, surface finish (polished or rough), lettering style, size, symbolism to recognize one’s religion, vocation, hobby or life events. Besides that, cemetary regulations related to size, color and symbolism must be met.
At NJ Marble & Granite By Artstone, we will manage every step of the monument creation.
To make the choice of a memorial easier for you, we suggest you to get familiar with a few classical monument styles that we offer.

Basic Types of Memorial Products
Monument and Headstone: Upright headstones are the most common type of cemetery memorial used today. This consists of two sections. The top section is called a “die,” and the bottom is known as a “base.” We have both Single and Family Monuments and Headstones
Slant Marker: Slant markers typically stand 14″ to 18″ in height with the front slanting or sloping back at a steep (not quite straight up and down) angle.
Granite flat marker: Granite cemetery markers are flat memorials also known as grass markers or flush markers. Flat markers are easier to maintain than upright memorials and give the cemetery a park-like appearance. Flat grave markers can come in any size and a variety of shapes. You will typically see a rectangular grave marker due to most cemetery regulations.
Bronze Memorial: Bronze cemetery markers are flat memorials that sit on granite bases, that in turn sit on concrete foundations. You have the option of ordering the grave marker with or without a bronze vase as part of the bronze memorial. Each bronze cemetery marker is uniquely handcrafted by skilled artisans who turn the cast, hard metal into personalized tributes in bronze. When ordering a bronze marker, you will need to know the size and granite color regulations at your cemetery.
NJ Marble & Granite By Artstone has one of the most extensive lines of bronze products. We are one of the monument companies that can match or supply a bronze gravesite marker from Matthews International Bronze and Granit-Bronz Company.
Mausoleum: A private mausoleum is a granite building with stained glass windows and a bronze door. A smaller option of a mausoleum, without doors or windows, can be quite modest in price while providing highly prized above-ground burial.
