Aside from flat markers, many people choose to have slant and bevel markers as it gives more elegance in a simple way. Finding the best headstone for a special someone is indeed difficult especially if you are not aware of what to do and what to choose. A memorial serves as a remembrance of the life of someone who died.
In this article, we will enlighten you on why most people prefer having slant or bevel markers. We will give you brief information and specifications of every kind.
Slant memorials are usually situated above the ground and at a steep angle on the front slopes. With these slopes, family and friends of the buried loved one can easily be identified even from a distance. Basically, this kind of headstone is installed directly on the ground or sometimes set on the top of a base to increase its height. People prefer this kind of memorial as it gives a nicer background for more design and engraving.
As for bevel monuments, like slants, they are sloped at the back and present a slightly higher view of the memorial. With this slope, surviving loved ones can easily read the details of the headstones and can be more personalized with the designs but with inscriptions on them.
As we all know, most of us are familiar with the traditional grave markers which are known as flat markers. These markers are typically set on the ground and can be made from bronze, granite, and other durable materials. On the other hand, slant or bevel markers are slightly raised from the ground. They call it bevel because of the two-inch slant to the market. Many people nowadays prefer this headstone as it gives the comfort of finding a loved one around the cemetery.
The primary difference between the flat markers and slant markers is the angle. Slant and Bevel Markers stand out a little. These markers are usually made with a smooth base and clients can ask for a naturally cut granite which gives a rustic accent to the monument. This type of memorial can be a good choice for people who prefer something with not-so-big headstones.
If you are wondering about something different or you wish to elevate the marker, you can choose either slant or bevel markers. If your preference is making it stand out, a bevel headstone can be a good choice especially if you want to show the wonderful designs that include the quotes and photos as well.
Like what we have on flat markers, Slant and Bevel markers are also simple yet budget-friendly. These headstones come with a polished surface and rock pitched edges. As for bevel markers, they present a small upright appearance.
Like what we offer to other headstones, we can also customize your slant or bevel markers with religious symbols, flowers, emblems, portraits along with the basic information of the buried loved one. In doing this, our makers engrave or sandblast your preferred pattern which reflects perfectly with the lifestyle of your loved one. Aside from bevel markers, people call this type of headstone as bevelled tombstones, and pillow markers.
In choosing a headstone, we highly instruct our clients to reach out first to their cemetery and check the rules and regulations regarding headstone installation. In line with this, we suggest asking certain specifications and what headstones are qualified at their end. Once we get the idea, we can proceed to the creation itself.
