Granite memorial stones are the most common choice for grave markers in the U.S. Granite headstones are available in many shapes, cuts, and sizes in order to meet the needs of our clients, align with cemetery regulations, and to offer personalization that honors deceased loved ones.
Having been in business for over 150 years, we at Cullis Memorials have a reputation for exceptional quality and timely delivery of gravestones. We guide our clients carefully through the selection process, offering insight and options that work for their budget and memorial goals.
A granite marker is either a flat stone installed directly into the ground, or a beveled stone that is slightly elevated from the ground with the back reaching two inches higher than the front. Granite marker gravestones are an affordable stone option due to their smaller size, yet present a generous surface area for customized engraving and edging.
Bronze grave markers consist of an engraved bronze plate installed onto a granite flat or beveled stone marker. The bronze feature provides an interesting surface for customized engraving, artistic design, and the addition of a memorial vase. Bronze plaques can also be affixed to upright granite headstones and mausoleum walls.
Columbaria are granite grave structures that house urns and their memorial markers. These unique stones may be a family’s alternative to mausoleum burial, or they can be integrated into a mausoleum or family plot. Columbaria are available in various sizes and offer multiple engraving options.
Benches are a wonderful alternative to family monuments, offering a resting place for visitors. Engraved with family names, Scripture, or meaningful inscriptions, benches give loved ones the opportunity to linger peacefully while reflecting on their memories.

Purchasing a memorial is a major investment of time and money and should be undertaken with great thought and care. Whether you are making immediate or pre-planned arrangements for a funeral, or you are purchasing cemetery property, you should know that you and your family ARE NOT obligated to purchase a monument from a funeral home or cemetery. Unfortunately, many cemeteries, especially those that are corporately owned, routinely employ high-pressure sales tactics to intimidate customers into buying from them. A good argument can be made to delay the purchase of a memorial, the one visual and lasting tribute, until other matters are complete. Contact us if you have any questions about headstones for an upcoming memorial service.
