Headstones and Grave Markers
Cemetery headstones are markers placed at the top of a grave to identify the person laid to rest at that specific plot. You can order a headstone with a minimalist design or work with Oaktree Engraving & Monuments’ custom headstone service in Norco to create a unique grave marker.
Our custom gravestone service can help you include describe the life of your loved one and the memories they leave behind. Standard grave markers have the name of the deceased, their date of birth, and date of passing engraved on the face of the headstone.
Custom grave markers can also display a person’s nickname, favorite quote, bible verse, and so much more. Work with our Norco headstone monument service to create a fully custom headstone for your loved one. We can help you choose from a variety of headstone customizations and designs.
Customizations
Our Norco headstone service offers engravings, etchings, and decorations to make genuinely unique headstones. The granite headstone you choose is also available in many colors and shapes.
Engravings
Part of our headstone service includes working with you to create a personal and fully customized engraving for the face of the headstone of your choice. Our compassionate customer service representative will help you decide what to put on the grave marker. We can also provide you with a list of fonts.
You may consider engraving words or phrases like:
- Favorite quotes or bible verses
- Military rank or veteran status
- Handprints or footprints
- Etched icons of a favorite interest
Pictures and Landscapes
Families can place two types of pictures on their loved one’s tombstones. The first type is a porcelain picture.
A porcelain picture is a plaque made by printing an image onto a ceramic tile. The plaque attaches to the gravemarker with adhesive. The ink used on the ceramic tile is fade-resistant.
We suggest choosing a clear picture with a high resolution. Selecting a black and white image or a color picture is possible. Your headstone provider can assist you with the ordering and installation process.
The second type of picture is an etched picture. You can choose a portrait of your loved one. Commonly etched images include a landscape design, religious scene, or even a beloved family pet. Examples of pictures you can have etched onto the headstone include:
- Lighthouse or ocean
- Forest or tree of life
- Sunrise or sunset
- Animals, birds, or feathers
- Flowers, wreaths, or plants
Decorative Elements
You can also order decorative elements from your headstone company. Items like flower vases, plant holders, small statues, and even decorative flags can help you personalize the gravesite.
Headstone Colors
As a custom Norco grave marker service, we help you honor your loved one by designing a one-of-a-kind grave marker. We offer over ten different granite colors, ranging from shades of blue, black, gray, red, and green. Our headstone company also provides several bronze options if desired. Another local headstone company near you may only offer a few color choices for your granite headstone or monument.
Classic and Custom Headstone Shapes
We can offer you more than standard grave headstone shapes or flat gravestone markers as a custom headstone provider. Traditional cemetery headstones are long, upright stone slabs with a curved or arch top. There are also rectangular gravestone markers that lay flat on the ground. Headstone shapes you should consider are:
- Upright Monument – a stone called a die that sits upright on a flat, rectangular base. The die can be rectangular, square, oval, or teardrop. Edge finishings can be rounded, squared off, or even left unfinished with a rocky look.
- Slant Monument – a headstone with a slanted face that sits on a flat, rectangular base
- Obelisk – an upright headstone that looks like a pillar with a pointed top
- Cross – an upright headstone in the form of a cross
