What’s the Importance of a Grave Marker
Custom grave markers with the name of the deceased inscribed have been around for hundreds of years. Our custom gravestone service helps you quickly identify the gravesite you want to visit since each grave marker is unique.
Standard grave markers have three pieces of information engraved on them, including the deceased’s name, birth date, and death date. As a custom headstone service in Temecula, we can inscribe your loved ones’ grave marker with more than the standard information.

Headstone Materials and Colors
Our headstone service allows you to choose from different materials and colors. Granite headstones are a classic choice because they are durable and come in various colors. You can order a Temecula headstone in granite or bronze. We offer over ten colors of granite headstones.
Headstone Shapes and Sizes
Headstones come in so many shapes and sizes. Cemetery headstones can be small enough to mark a single gravesite or large enough to identify multiple graves. You can choose from flat-lying grave markers or upstanding tombstones.
In-ground headstones are rectangular. The typical measurement is 24” by 12”. You can always choose a different dimension depending on what you want to be inscribed on the headstone. Upright monuments are usually between 20” and 30” long and 30 to 48” tall.
Upright headstones are available in classic shapes like a teardrop, rectangle, square, curved arch, and oval. Our headstone company can also create a unique headstone shape like a cross, heart, or obelisk.

Decorations
There are also decorations that you can add on or near the headstone. Porcelain pictures, plant holders, and vases are common add-ons to grave markers.
Porcelain Picture
Oaktree Engraving & Monuments can specially make a porcelain plaque to place on the headstone’s face. We copy an image of your loved one and print it on a ceramic tile with fade-resistant ink. The photo can include one individual, a couple, or multiple family members. You can use a black and white image or a color picture.
For best results, choose a clear picture with high resolution. We will place the porcelain picture on the headstone with a permanent adhesive when completed.
Plant Holders & Vases
Adding a vase or plant holder on or near the headstone is a good idea if anyone plans to bring flowers or potted plants to the gravesite. Vases and plant holders keep flowers and potted plants in a place where they won’t blow away.
