monuments
Monuments and headstones are everlasting. Parmer Monument & Stone understands the importance of memorialization. They tell who we are and where we come from, so finding the right one is exceptionally important. We offer a wide selection of monuments in various styles and materials so you can find the best one for your loved one.
Many cemeteries have specific restrictions on the monuments allowed. Please read and understand the guidelines before purchasing yours.
monument styles
Bronze Monuments
We offer bronze markers, vases, scrolls, and niche products proudly made in the USA. These are beautifully detailed and long-lasting.
Flat or Bevel Monuments
Flat monuments rest very low or flush to the ground. Some cemeteries require this type of monument to ensure uniform appearance and provide ease of cemetery maintenance. Beveled monuments rest low to the ground, but are slanted or beveled slightly for ease of finding and reading.
Upright Monuments
This style of monument utilizes a large front face (or tablet), and are a good choice for longer, engraved inscriptions or flourishes. The large tablet size also makes it easier to locate in a cemetery. Upright monuments range in size from small (18x20) to large.
Slanted Monuments
Slanted monuments are a form of upright monument that slants upward for ease of reading. These also feature a large tablet for inscriptions.
Cremation Monuments
This type of monument includes a small space (or niche) to permanently house the ashes of the departed. These niches are above ground and sealed from the elements.
Bench Monuments
Often used as a memorial as well as a grave marker, bench monuments are often seen as a comforting place to sit peacefully and reflect on memories shared.
Monument Types
Single Monuments
Single monuments mark a single plot. They can be found in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. We help personalize your monument to commemorate your loved one's life.
Companion Monuments
Companion monuments mark a dual cemetery plot and showcase a family's name. The monument can uniquely represent the family name.
Child Monuments
Parmer Monument is so sorry for the loss of your child. We want to help bring comfort to your family by offering monuments that are tailored for your beloved child.
Veteran Monuments
Military memorials honor the brave men and women who have protected our freedom. You'll find that our veteran monuments remember the heroism of our veterans and pay special tribute to their bravery and sacrifice. We also proudly set markers provided by the VA.
monument materials
Parmer Monument & Stone can help you decide what monument material best suits your needs. Many different types of materials are used to make monuments. There are several types of monument materials we use, including:
Granite
This is, by far, the most popular monument material used in today's designs. Granite is a good choice for most monuments because it is durable and can tolerate any climate. It also comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Because of its dense nature, it is easy to achieve precision engravings.
Bronze
This monument material can be used on its own or as a placard on a stone base. This particular metal will not succumb to decay or rust making it a good choice for perpetual monuments.
Marble
You will find a range of colors and patterns in marble, much like granite. However, it's important to consider quality when choosing marble as it is not as durable as granite; some cemeteries may not allow marble monuments.
