These monuments typically consist of a vertical granite tablet with polished vertical front and back placed on a base of granite. These tablets can be polished only front and back, polished back, top and front or polished on all sides. Those surfaces not polished can be left either sawn for a relatively rough finish, honed for a fairly smooth but not polished finish or rock pitch where the stone is very rough as if it were broken. The base is usually polished only on top with the sides left rock pitched. This monument gives you that look of tradition but can now be customized though the use of an innovative design.

Of course, various options can be added such as black and white or color photographs, flower vases, concrete borders and so forth.
