Monuments
We work with city departments to design and create monuments to memorialize people and events. Our monuments come in all shapes and sizes for public display. Additionally, we can construct a personalized monument to commemorate your loved one. These monuments are ideal for display at the gravesite or on your private property.
Traditional Headstones
Traditional headstone designs are made from a base and an upright stone. The upright piece stands tall and can be engraved with information about your loved one.
Some headstone companies provide only traditional engravings. At Oaktree Engraving & Monument, we offer our customers the most personalized and distinct headstone designs and engravings.
When you are ready to order a headstone, one of our professional headstone service representatives will help you choose the shape, style, and color of the headstone of your choice. Our headstone company offers granite headstones, bronze headstones, and more.
You can choose a traditional headstone shape as well as a custom headstone in Cathedral City. Headstone shapes include square, rectangle, oval, rounded or slant. We also have memorial headstones in a variety of shapes, like crosses, hearts, unfinished edge stones, and double headstone grave markers.
Traditional Grave Markers
Traditional grave markers are the smallest grave stones. They are small rectangular markers laid flat at the top of the gravesite. They have the person’s name, birth date, and death date engraved on them. These markers are perfect if you prefer something small and simple.
Oaktree Engraving & Monuments provides a graver marker service near you. We can design and deliver a traditional grave marker that is unique and personal to your loved one. If desired, our design service team can help you add decorations and etchings.
Decorations & Etchings
As your chosen headstone provider, Oaktree Engraving & Monuments will work with you to design a truly special grave marker. To differentiate the grave headstone, you can add decorations and etchings to the face of the headstone.
Embellishments
As the premier local headstone company near you, Oaktree Engraving & Monuments has a variety of decorations for you to choose from. The most common decorations include porcelain plaques, vases, plant holders, and fixed statues.
Porcelain Plaques
Porcelain plaques are pictures that are specially printed on ceramic tiles. Many people choose to add a porcelain plaque with a picture of their loved one to the headstone.
Images can be in black and white or color. You should choose a clear picture with a high resolution. The picture can have your loved one, your loved one with their partner, the whole family, a beloved pet, or other image of your choosing.
Once complete, the plaque is attached to the headstone with a special adhesive designed to be weather-resistant and durable.
Permanent Statues
If you don’t want to add an image to the grave marker, you can always add a statue to the headstone. You can choose a religious figure, like an angel, or a figure of something loved by the deceased, like a vintage truck. Permanent statues help individualize the gravesite. They are a great option if the face of the headstone is full, too.
Vases and Plant Holders
Flowers and plants are often brought to the grave by visitors. You can choose to decorate the grave marker with a vase or plant holder.
Vases can hold small bouquets of flowers. Plant holders are better for potted plants that are larger and meant to be more permanent. These decorations can help add beauty and color to the gravesite.
Personalized Etchings
Our Cathedral City grave marker service can engrave personal etchings to your loved one’s tombstone. You will be able to choose from a variety of fonts and sizes.
Some etchings you can add to the tombstone include:
- Personal role (dad, uncle, son, etc.)
- Career title (doctor, electrician, musician etc.)
- A prayer, bible verse, or religious scripture
- Military branch, rank, or veteran status
You can also choose to include pictures or icons like:
- Handprints or footprints
- Favorite animal or sport
- Favorite hobby or pastime
- Flag of home country
We can etch larger images like:
- Homesite or birthplace
- Ocean, sea, or lake landscape
- Meadow, forest or mountain landscape
Portraits can also be etched onto the tombstone. A single profile portrait of your loved one or family portrait etching can be added, too. It’s possible to etch the image of a beloved pet, too.
