We Build Beautiful,
Affordable Headstones
Upright
Monuments
Upright monuments are a traditional memorial style that stand vertically on a base, making them easy to see and locate in the cemetery. Compared to flat markers, this design offers more space for names, dates, inscriptions and other decorative details. Many families choose upright headstones for their timeless appearance, strong presence, and greater opportunities for personalization.
Bench
Memorials
Bench memorials combine remembrance with function, offering a place to sit, reflect, and spend time in quiet thought. This style allows for inscriptions or designs while also creating a welcoming space for visitors. Bench memorials are often chosen by families who want a more interactive, peaceful tribute that encourages reflection and connection.
Slant
Markers
Slant markers feature a gently angled face offering a balance between flat and upright memorials. Their sloped design makes inscriptions easier to read while maintaining a lower profile. Slant markers provide ample space for names, dates, and personal details, making them a popular choice for families seeking a classic look with a more subtle presence.
Special Shape
Monuments
Special shape monuments are fully custom memorials designed to reflect a person’s life, passions, and personality. Unlike standard styles, these monuments can be created in unique shapes, designs, or themes, allowing for complete creative freedom. Families often choose custom monuments to create a one-of-a-kind tribute that tells a more personal story and stands apart from traditional memorial options.
Bevel
Markers
Bevel markers offer a subtle distinction from flush markers, as they rest above ground on a foundation with gently sloped edges. This raised design improves visibility while maintaining a clean and understated look. Bevel markers are a popular choice for families seeking a simple and traditional memorial that is easy to maintain while adhering to many cemetery guidelines.
Flush
Markers
Flush markers sit level with the ground, creating a clean, simple, and unobtrusive memorial. Their low-profile design blends naturally into the landscape while still providing space for essential inscriptions and personalization. Flush markers are often chosen for their ease of maintenance and affordability.
Fugate Family
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of this for us, and for helping me! I think they both would have approved and been very happy! It’s still kind of hard to get used to the fact that they both are gone, but this does help to make it seem more like their resting place and will be very helpful to other family members in the sameway when they visit. You have been a dream to work with, you have done very well in handling a grieving daughter and I am glad I did not go anywhere else.”
Finley Family
“This place is absolutely amazing. The bench they did for my husband and I was beautiful. And the price was very affordable. Thank you guys so much.”
Hulbert Family
“Thanks so much for helping us design this beautiful memorial for my sweetheart Mary.”
Sands Family
“When my wife passed away I was faced with the difficult task of selecting a monument company. The most important thing for me was selecting a monument that would honor the memory of my precious wife. I visited four different locations and spoke with representatives from each company. Of course, each person I spoke with desired to make a sale, but the Modern Monument was the one who earned my trust, and made me feel as though I could place my full confidence. More than anyone else, they took the time to sit and talk with me face to face and answer all my questions.”
Petterson Family
“When I contracted with The Modern Monument, I got the ‘best of the best.’ They are so thoughtful and kind. They came to my home to help me with the design of our headstone. When we were finished with the design, I received a top quality headstone which is beautiful with everything I requested. They are a pleasure to work with. They went over and above everything that is required of their business. If you are looking for a top quality headstone, please contract with this business.”
Bexley Hills
“I’ve been so impressed with the work done by The Modern Monument. Our neighborhood desperately needed our monuments repaired that were literally falling apart and after getting multiple quotes, Modern Monument was by far the most reasonable cost-wise. They did a phenomenal job fixing up our monuments and really went above and beyond. They were also excellent with communication. Highly recommend!!”
Fast Family
“The stone looks great. They gave me a good price and was able to get it installed before the holidays.”
Green Family
“I went to The Modern Monument looking for a special piece of granite for a celebration of my family. I was looking to have a bench made. I had some thoughts of what I wanted and colors and The Modern Monument made it happen. They were able to design pictures colors etc and had it made. I also had engraving done and they assisted in the design of this as well. They were very easy to work with and they made a very special, one of a kind bench for my family. It is truly beautiful!"
Heard Family
“Jason took really great care of me and my family during the design process. Very professional, compassionate, and hands on. The finished product is better than imagined. Thank you and your entire team.”
