Design Guide
By clicking through each step below, you will get an opportunity to see what important questions and decisions need to be made throughout the monument design process.
Monument Shape
Deciding the shape and size of your monument is a great start if you're not sure exactly what you're looking for. Throughout our site you will notice different monument shapes. Our Standard monuments come in 6 different styles. Flush, Bevel, Slant, Upright, Benches, and Custom Shapes. Be sure to check with your cemetery for any monument shape or size restrictions.
Granite Color
Granite comes in a wide variety of colors. Color can have a significant impact on price. You can view several popular color options below.
Design
After you have selected the shape and color of your stone, it is time to choose a design. At MT Memorials we specialize in working directly with each family to provide that perfect representation of your loved one. We can include things like carved artwork and logo's as well as ceramic tiles. Check out a few recent designs below.
Foundation
Every Monument requires a level foundation. And every cemetery has a fee that they require you to pay for that foundation. Some cemeteries will provide this service for as little as 50 cents a square inch or less. Others demand an exorbitant price. The regional average is around 70 cents a square inch. We will work with your cemetery representative to ensure your monument receives a proper foundation.
