| Granite Memorials A memorial is usually the last and most memorable purchase we can make for our deceased loved ones. Careful thought in how the memorial grave marker will read is important. Personalizing the memorial to the individual requires us to remember what was really important to them and to us. Cemetery Rules and Regulations Each cemetery has it's own rules and regulations regarding memorial sizes, color and placement. Please be sure to check with your cemetery to see what their requirements are. If you find that the cemetery requires something that you do not see on this site please e-mail or call 401-434-4064. We can accommodate most needs. Setting Fees and Perpetual Care Most cemeteries provide foundations for upright monuments and set grave markers for a nominal fee.
