Flush Markers
A flush, or grass level marker is used when required by the
cemetery.
It was originally assigned for ease of maintenance for
the cemetery. As
with all memorials, a flush marker can be used
to mark one or more graves.
Bevel Markers
Bevel markers are designed to be placed above
ground on a concrete
foundation. This style is slightly higher in the
back than the front, and is
more visible in the cemetery.
Slant Markers
Slant face markers are usually 16" high in
back and the face "slants"
towards the ground. This not
only allows the marker to be seen from
a greater distance, but also
allows greater face area for the design and
lettering.
Upright Memorials
The upright memorial is the most
popular. You will see an endless
variety of shapes and size
available. This style can be used to mark
any number of
graves.
More and more families are
choosing to personalize their memorials.
Drake specializes in assisting
families in selecting a design which will be

Drake enjoys working with families, who choose to
mark an entire family
lot, with Family Estate Memorials. This ultimate
expression of a family's heritage
and pride can be accomplished in many
different forms.
Consulting with a memorial designer, a family
can help create a
beautiful personalized design, or, an elegant
simple design.
