Garden memorials
Benches, boulders, name panels and markers for cremation gardens, scattering gardens and home placement, in all 58 granite colors. Ordered through funeral homes and cemeteries; families often choose one in the weeks after a cremation.
The pieces
Each one is drawn on a proof, so the inscription, the panel and any urn space are agreed before production.
Memorial benches
A granite bench that carries the inscription and, if wanted, holds the urn.

Send a design request
Tell us the piece, where it will sit, the granite color and the names. A photo of the garden or the spot at home helps.
Proof and trade quote
Our designer draws the piece and returns it with a trade quote.
Approve
Check names, dates and the inscription with the family. The first 2 revisions are free.
Production
Nothing goes into production until you approve the proof. Cremation memorials take 6 to 8 weeks after approval; other garden pieces are confirmed on the proof.
Delivery and setting
We drop-ship direct to the cemetery. In Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia our own crews set it in the cemetery and file the permit.
Cremation and scattering gardens
For cemeteries, garden memorials give a cremation or scattering section a focal point and a place for names. We work to your rules and need the lot map location before anything is set.
Columbaria and niches
2-, 4- and 6-niche granite columbaria, cremation benches and build-your-own niche memorials for the same section.
See columbaria and niches →Your rules come first
Sizes, finishes and placement follow the rules you set for the section. We check them before the family chooses.
Setting
Our setting standard in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia, and what we need from you first.
See the setting standard →After the cremation
For funeral homes, a garden memorial is the natural follow-on to a cremation, for the cemetery or for home. Offer it at the arrangement conference and the request comes to us like any other design.
