Memorials Designed Around the Person Being Honored
A headstone should do more than display a name and dates. It can preserve the relationships, beliefs, accomplishments, and personal details that made someone’s life meaningful.
Your memorial may include:
- Family names and relationships
- Marriage dates
- Personal inscriptions
- Bible verses and religious symbols
- Military emblems and service information
- Farm, ranch, occupation, or trade imagery
- Flowers, wildlife, landscapes, and nature scenes
- Sports, hobbies, and community interests
- Portraits and granite etchings
- Porcelain photographs
- Custom lettering and carved borders
- Bronze accessories and emblems
Our designers will help organize these details into a balanced memorial that is attractive, durable, and easy to read.
Headstones and Grave Markers Available in Holton
Upright Headstones
Upright granite headstones are a traditional and highly visible memorial option.
They provide space for names, dates, inscriptions, portraits, religious symbols, military emblems, and personalized artwork. Upright monuments are available in many shapes, sizes, granite colors, and finishes.
A granite base generally supports the upright tablet and provides additional stability and visual presence.

Companion Monuments
Companion monuments memorialize two people together and are commonly selected by married couples or close family members.
A companion monument may include individual names and dates along with shared elements such as:
- A family surname
- Wedding date
- Shared inscription
- Religious imagery
- Farm or landscape scene
- Family photograph
- Meaningful artwork
We will help determine the appropriate size and layout based on the burial spaces and cemetery requirements.
Family Monuments
A family monument can serve as the central feature of a larger family burial area.
The main monument may display the family surname while coordinating individual markers identify the burial spaces of family members.
Family memorial planning can also account for future burials and lettering needs.
Flat Grave Markers
Flat granite markers sit close to ground level and provide a simple, understated memorial.
They can include:
- Names and dates
- Short inscriptions
- Religious symbols
- Military emblems
- Floral designs
- Small decorative scenes
- Porcelain photographs
The cemetery generally determines the permitted dimensions, material, and placement of a flat marker.

Bevel Markers
Bevel markers rise slightly above the ground and have an angled face that improves visibility.
They provide more visual presence than a flat marker while maintaining a lower profile than a slant or upright monument.
Slant Markers
Slant markers have a taller, angled inscription face. They provide additional design space and visibility while remaining more compact than many upright monuments.
Slant markers may be installed with or without a separate granite base, depending on the design and cemetery regulations.
Cremation Memorials
Cremation offers many permanent memorial choices.
Available options may include:
- Traditional cemetery monuments
- Granite cremation benches
- Family monuments with cremation chambers
- Granite urn memorials
- Columbarium niche inscriptions
- Markers for buried cremated remains
- Memorials designed for multiple family members
Our staff will help you understand which options are appropriate for the cemetery and your family’s plans.

Memorial Benches
A granite bench can create both a permanent tribute and a place for visitors to sit and reflect.
Memorial benches may be appropriate for cemeteries, churches, parks, gardens, schools, and private family properties. Placement requires approval from the cemetery or property owner.

How the Memorial Process Works
- Meet With a Memorial Consultant
The process begins with a conversation about the person being honored, the cemetery location, the burial space, your design preferences, and your approximate budget.
Helpful information may include:
- Full names and dates
- Cemetery information
- Obituary information
- Photographs
- Military records
- Bible verses
- Poems or personal sayings
- Examples of monuments you like
- Drawings or handwritten design ideas
You do not need to have every decision made before meeting with us.
- Select a Monument Style
We help you compare monument types, sizes, granite colors, finishes, lettering styles, and design possibilities.
The cemetery’s rules and the available burial space may affect the styles and dimensions that can be used.
- Develop the Memorial Design
Our team creates a layout showing the proposed names, dates, inscriptions, artwork, and placement of each element.
Your family will review the design and approve it before production begins.
- Verify Cemetery Requirements
Cemetery regulations vary between locations.
Requirements may address:
- Monument dimensions
- Permitted materials
- Foundations
- Placement
- Installation methods
- Permits
- Cemetery fees
We help confirm the applicable requirements before the monument is produced.
- Produce and Install the Memorial
After the design is approved and cemetery requirements are satisfied, the memorial is produced and scheduled for installation.
Installation timing may be affected by weather, soil conditions, cemetery access, foundation curing, production requirements, and granite availability.

Memorial Preplanning
A headstone does not have to be selected immediately following a death.
Preplanning gives individuals and families time to make thoughtful decisions without the emotional and time pressures that often follow a loss.
Planning a memorial in advance allows you to:
- Select the monument style
- Choose a granite color
- Determine the appropriate size
- Document preferred wording
- Select artwork and symbols
- Confirm cemetery requirements
- Discuss payment options
- Record your preferences for your family
Our Holton staff can explain available preplanning options and help document your selections.
