Bronze Grassmarkers and Granite Bases



Bronze markers are very popular choices for memorialization. They are especially common in cemeteries that do not allow upright monuments. The flat cemetery markers help minimize time spent on mowing and ground maintenance. Many flatmarkers and grassmarkers have removable vases to help reduce the risk of damage from mowers and other equipment.

There are many different manufacturers of bronze cemetery markers; each company has it's own unique sizes and designs from which to choose. Bases for the bronze are manufactured from granite slabs which are sized slightly larger than the bronze. Industry standards size the granite bases larger than the bronze to accommodate a 2 inch border of granite around the bronze marker. Granite manufacturers will also drill lug and vase holes to match the bronze manufacturer's specifications for attaching the bronze marker to the granite.

VA bronze markers are available to veterans through government websites. Companion bronze markers are available from several bronze manufacturers throughout the US. When purchasing your bronze marker, a counselor will be able to guide you through granite choices, base sizing and additional bronze vase options.
