Bevel Cemetery Markers – A Lasting Memorial Choice by The Eternal Monuments 




Bevel cemetery markers are a timeless, practical, and elegant option for honoring loved ones in a cemetery setting. They strike a perfect balance between traditional flat grave markers and upright headstones, offering both visibility and subtlety. At The Eternal Monuments, we've seen more and more families choose bevel markers for their durability, aesthetic value, and respectful presence.

If you’re in the process of selecting a grave marker and feel overwhelmed by the choices, understanding what makes bevel cemetery markers unique can help bring clarity and peace of mind.


🪦 What Are Bevel Cemetery Markers?

A bevel marker is a type of grave marker that lies flat on the ground, much like a traditional flat marker, but with a slightly raised back edge, usually 2 to 4 inches higher than the front. This creates a gentle slant or “bevel” that makes the inscription easier to read while still maintaining a low profile.

Unlike upright monuments that can dominate the landscape, bevel markers offer a modest, understated way to memorialize someone—quiet but present. This is one reason they’re often chosen for double graves, veterans’ memorials, or family plots.


🌟 Why Families Choose Bevel Markers

At The Eternal Monuments, we’ve worked with countless families who chose bevel markers for reasons that go beyond appearance:

✅ 1. Easy to Read and Maintain

The slanted face of a bevel marker makes inscriptions more legible from a standing position compared to flat markers, which often require visitors to kneel or stand directly over them. They’re also less likely to collect standing water or debris.

✅ 2. Budget-Friendly Alternative

Bevel cemetery markers are usually more affordable than upright monuments, making them an excellent choice for those looking for a beautiful tribute without exceeding a budget. They also require simpler installation, which can further reduce costs.

✅ 3. Ideal for Companions or Families

These markers can be sized for single or companion memorials. Many families opt for a double bevel marker that includes two names, shared dates, and sometimes even space for future engraving.

✅ 4. Customization Options

Despite their modest size, bevel markers are highly customizable. At The Eternal Monuments, we offer a wide range of designs, including:

One family recently chose a beveled marker with a lighthouse and seagull engraving to reflect their father’s lifelong love for the ocean. Simple, yet deeply personal.
