Products
Drake Memorial, LLC has been serving the Springfield, Ohio community for almost a century, so you can always count on us when it comes to understanding our timeless trade and providing you with the very best memorial results for your loved one.
Some of our most popular memorial products include the following:
Upright Monuments
Upright monuments are also commonly referred to as a tombstone or a headstone, and the vast majority of these monuments utilize granite materials. Upright monuments can come in a whole array of different styles and sizes to match your personal preferences and customization needs.
Drake Memorial, LLC has helped countless families when it comes to the design and construction of custom upright monuments, so you can rely upon our experts to provide you with the unparalleled results that your loved one undoubtedly deserves.
Flat Markers
Flat marker monuments are cemetery memorials that rest at lawn level, and these types of monuments will regularly be developed with granite and bronze materials.
Although these memorials may be smaller than some of the other options that we provide, flat markers are still very popular amongst families because they provide enough space for customized designs and text. A lot of families on a budget choose flat markers as well because they tend to be more affordable.
Columbaria
A columbarium is an above-ground memorial structure that entails a niche, and many families will choose to place cremation urns in these compartments. Many cemeteries provide the option to place your loved one’s urn in a community columbarium unit, but we’ve come to realize how countless families actually prefer a family columbarium.
A family columbarium tends to be more personal as a way to pay tribute to loved ones, and our family columbaria can be completely customized with all kinds of dignified tributes and meaningful phrases/images that mean a lot to your family.
Slants
Slant monuments, otherwise known as slanted memorials, are grave marker tablets that entail a slanted face that rests on top of a foundation. Usually the foundation for a slanted monument is made of granite, and there are two main types of slant monuments.
Many slant monuments will have a flat area of about 2 inches in front of the slanted tablet, and this portion of the memorial is referred to as the “nosing”. A slant monument’s nosing can be either rock-pitched or polished. When a slant monument does not entail a nosing, it’s referred to as a “full-face” slant. Full-faced slant monuments will generally be placed on top of a granite base, whereas slant monuments with a nosing can potentially be placed directly into a cemetery’s foundation.
Slant monuments are excellent options for personalization and all types of custom engraving creativity, and the experts at Drake Memorial, LLC will work closely with you to ensure that your loved one’s slant monument matches your personal preferences to perfection.
