If you’re choosing a memorial for a parent, spouse or another loved one, it’s natural to have questions about your options. Many families aren’t familiar with flat grave markers in Lakewood, WA until they begin the selection process, and we’re here to make it simple.
A flat marker, sometimes called a flush marker, rests level with the lawn to create a clean, timeless appearance. It may be crafted from cast bronze mounted on a granite base or cut from solid granite, depending on your family’s preferences. Flat markers are a meaningful choice for people of all faiths, cultures and traditions, and they can be personalized with names, dates, inscriptions, emblems, portraits and other lasting details. They can be customized to reflect your family’s wishes while fitting a wide range of budgets.
If you’re considering other memorial styles, you can also explore Upright headstones and monuments or Memorial benches and boulders. Below, we’ll walk you through how to choose the marker that’s right for your family.
