The Difference Between
Monuments & Markers

When arranging burial or memorial services at a cemetery plot, individuals often face the choice between a marker or a monument. It's crucial to recognize that both options are suitable but differ in size and shape.


Markers are usually small stone structures, like flat rectangles placed above the plot, with names, dates, and other details carved into them. Monuments, on the other hand, are larger vertical headstones that also display the same information.


Monuments can be personalized to reflect the personality of the deceased, taking various forms such as three-dimensional crosses, statuettes, saints, or other figures.
