Customizing a grave marker (sometimes also referred to as a “flat headstone”) for that special person is often an overwhelming experience for families. Troy Headstones makes it easy for you to select among our wide variety of grave marker designs to make a difficult process as hassle-free as possible. Grave markers often times are the only type of headstone that a cemetery will allow to be placed as a memorial. Often times, this is because the cemetery is conscience of the limited space in the cemetery they are working with. Also, some cemeteries prefer flat headstones so that mowers can mow over the top of the grave marker and don’t have to worry about any damage to the headstone or bringing out a weed-wacker for further lawn maintenance. One of the pros of memorializing your loved one with a granite grave marker is that they are typically less expensive than the traditional upright headstones. However, the downfall of grave markers is that because they are flat, they are not as easy to see in the cemetery and you may have to spend a little longer finding the exact location of your loved one.

In addition to custom designs, we also have templated designs that we can use for our flat grave markers. In fact, if you are in need of completing a grave marker fairly quickly, we have over 20 templates to choose from that we can have completed in 10 business days.
