Upright Marker
Upright markers are the most common and customizable option available. They can be shaped in a large variety of custom options and with the largest design area, there are options for designs and lettering on both the front and back. Upright markers are easier to locate in most cemeteries and often resist the wear of the elements longer than other styles.
Bevel Marker
Bevel markers sit above ground and have a slight slope, making them easier to read. A bevel marker is commonly found at the foot of a grave on a multi-grave plot, and often only holds the name and dates of one deceased. The smaller surface area allows for a border design surrounding the deceased's name, if desired.
