Granite Marker Guide
Washington Memorial Park Marker Policy
Nearly all sections require flush (flat) markers only. Upright monuments are permitted in very few areas: only Section 6, designated blocks of Section 23, and Cascade Court.
For the vast majority of families, the choice comes down to two materials: granite or bronze. Both last. Granite is what most families choose, because there is far more you can do with it.
Benches available in Sections 6, 23, designated blocks of 20, and the Rose Urn Garden of Section 18.
About Flush Markers
A flush marker, also called a flat or lawn-level marker, rests level with the grass rather than standing upright, so the lawn stays open. It is the standard style here, available in granite or bronze, as a single marker or a companion marker shared between two people. Nearly every section requires flush markers only; upright monuments are permitted in Section 6, designated blocks of Section 23, and Cascade Court.
About Flush Markers
Why Granite
The number-one reason families choose granite over bronze is personalization. Granite gives you over twenty stone colours across three pricing tiers, ceramic steel photo portraits, hand diamond etching, and custom engraving and scenes, none of which is possible with cast bronze. It resists weathering and UV fading, and it is priced all-inclusive: stone, engraving, wording and installation are all in the figure. Photos are the only add-on.

Every figure below is all-in: the granite, the design and engraving, the installation, and the 10.4% sales tax. There is no separate foundation charge, because the marker is the foundation.
The marker is one of several charges in a cemetery arrangement. The Cemetery Property Guide explains how it fits with the space, vault, and the rest.

Stone Color Groups
Granite is a natural material, so grain and tone vary between individual stones. Ask to view a physical sample before finalizing your selection.
Ceramic Steel Portraits
Ceramic steel portraits are kiln-fired porcelain photo plaques recessed into the marker. The image is fused into the porcelain at high temperature, so it will not fade, peel, or discolor outdoors. Available in full color, sepia, or black & white. Recessed mounting is included at time of order.

Diamond & Laser Etched Portraits
Hand diamond etching is a portrait technique where skilled artisans etch a photograph's likeness directly into the granite, one dot at a time, using diamond-plated tools. The result is a deep, permanent impression, more lifelike and durable than a surface-level laser etch. For best results, the portrait area should be at least 6″ tall, and a high-quality source photo makes a real difference.
