Our Memorial Design and Selection Process

1. Type of Material

There are two primary materials used for memorials, granite and bronze. Each can be customized to meet the individual design requests of the client. Often, the cemetery where the memorial will be placed will have regulations on what type of material that can be used. Sutphen Memorials Inc. is familiar with these requirements and can assist in this selection.

2. Budget

The wide variety of memorial concepts available allow us to design a fitting tribute for whatever your budget may be. Sutphen Memorials Inc. will work through this process with you, ensuring that you are aware of all of the options available. When determining the cost of your memorial, some things to consider are: Material, size, color, and design.

3. Monument Style

If granite is selected as your memorial material, there are several different styles of monuments available. Each style can be customized to meet your individual requirements. As with the type of material allowed, cemeteries typically have requirements on what type of monument style is allowed. Sutphen Memorials Inc. is familiar with the individual requirements of the local cemeteries and can assist you in making sure that the monument style you select fits with these regulations.
