Headstone Materials & Colors
Oaktree Engraving & Monuments offers clients the choice of several headstone materials. The most common grave marker materials are bronze and granite. Granite headstones are a leading choice for a headstone because they have a traditional look, are durable, and come in various colors. Our headstone company offers customers the choice of over ten shades of granite.
When you work with Oaktree Engraving & Monuments, you can select the headstone material and color of your choice. Next, you will choose the specific headstone designs, engravings, and etchings.
Headstone Designs
Cemetery headstones come in many different design styles. The headstone shape you choose can help you quickly locate the gravesite of your loved one. You can choose a classic shape, or work with our custom gravestone service to create a custom-cut headstone if you want a specific, non-traditional shape.
Classic Headstone Designs
Headstones come in two classic designs. The first headstone design is an in-ground, rectangular stone that lays flat at the top of the grave. The second headstone design is an upright headstone. Two pieces of stone make the upright headstone. The first piece is the base piece, and the second is called the die.
You can choose a die shaped like a rectangle, square, oval, teardrop, slant, and more. Additionally, you can have the corners and edges of the headstone rounded off, squared off, or left rough.
Custom Grave Marker Designs
Our headstone service includes custom-cut headstones in Los Angeles. Since we are a custom headstone company, we can meet our customers’ specific design needs.
Some headstone companies only offer their inventory standard, pre-cut grave marker designs. Oaktree Engraving & Monuments can arrange special headstone shapes like hearts, crosses, and obelisks.
Our custom grave marker service near you lets you choose a variety of details, including the material, stone color, cut, and shape of the headstone. We also custom inscribe the face of each gravestone.
What Gets Put On a Memorial Headstone
The traditional inscription a headstone provider will engrave on the headstone’s face is the deceased’s name, birth date, and death date. Our Los Angeles grave marker service can engrave or etch words, phrases, pictures, and more, depending on your headstone’s size.
You can choose to add engravings, etchings, and decorations to the headstone. Many people choose to custom engrave and etch the headstone’s face to make the memorial headstone one-of-a-kind.
