Granite Slants & Bevel Memorials

EVEL MARKERS - A bevel marker, sometimes called a pillow marker because of the gently sloping angle of the face, is a raised marker that rests above the ground. Like a flat marker, it sets flat at the grave site. The back of the grave marker is slightly higher than the front, making it more visible in a cemetery than a flat marker and can be finished with a wider variety of style and design options. Like flat markers, bevel markers come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and are set on a concrete foundation.

SLANT MARKERS - A slant marker is usually 12 – 16 inches tall. While not tall enough to be considered an upright monument, a slanted grave marker has a wider base that slants towards the back presenting an upward profile that stands out in a cemetery because the granite is cut to sit at a steep angle. It can be placed on a solid granite base or installed directly on a poured concrete foundation. These markers can be finished with rough sides and top or with any number of sides polished.
