Differences between Headstones, Monuments and
Markers

• There are many options for you to remember your
  loved one. Your choice depends on how you want
  your loved one remembered, the financial assets
  you have, and cemetery restrictions.

3
Headstone

• The headstone is typically a piece of rock
  (usually granite) that sits erect on the ground,
  allowing individuals who walk past to easily
  identify the individual.
• A headstone is typically less ornate than true
  monuments and often smaller.
• It is common to have one headstone per person.

4
Monument

• Monuments are often the same shape as headstones.
• There might be some height restrictions, but
  there is no issue with designing and selecting an
  image, icon, animal or anything else as a
  monument for your loved one.

5
Monument

• Some gravesites have lion monuments twenty feet
  long by ten feet high, have large obelisks, or
  tall skinny spindles.
• A monument might have any icon or image
  represented typically in three dimensional form.

6
Marker

• A cemetery marker often sits flat, so you can
  only read it when standing straight above it.
• An excellent option for those who are looking to
  save money.
• Easiest memorial to maintain.
• Most cemetery ground crews remove unwanted grass
  or weeds around it.
