What types of memorials are available?
Granite and bronze are the most commonly required materials. Marble or natural boulder monuments are acceptable in some local cemeteries. Most people will choose granite except when cemetery regulations require bronze markers. Granite memorials offer much more flexibility of design, require less maintenance and are more cost effective. Marble, although beautiful, is generally not recommended. Because of its character of being soft and brittle (making it susceptible to damage and corrosion) many cemeteries do not allow it. Natural boulder monuments are acceptable in only a few Denver Metro cemeteries.
