In this article, you will know why most people choose flat grave markers as monuments.
What are Flat Markers?
Not all people can afford to buy exquisite memorials, but we can still settle for something durable yet budget-friendly. In terms of granite monuments, foot markers are renowned to be the most affordable option. These economical monuments are usually placed flat and flush to the ground where the deceased loved one is buried.
These monuments come with 3 to 4 thickness, rectangle in shape and have polished surfaces. Flat Markers are usually made from bronze and granite and come with various sizes and shapes. Generally, there are two types of foot markers; the ledger lawn-level and flush lawn-level grave markers.
Many people choose this kind of monument aside from it being economical, it is easy to maintain. Most cemeteries prefer this memorial. Flat markers are installed at the foot of the grave and sometimes used as an additional stone to an existing headstone. There are two standard sizes of foot markers, 18” x 24” and 24” x 12”. You can actually add a foot marker to an existing headstone, just let the monument maker know about this matter. This memorial usually weighs about 130 pounds and comes in various colors. If you choose to have a marble grave marker, it might contain light to moderate veining.
