Flat Markers
Flat markers are made of granite or bronze and are inscribed with custom lettering and emblems that are installed flush with the ground. Granite markers are inscribed using sandblasting or diamond etching the surface. Bronze are cast metal and mounted to a piece of granite, with a two-inch margin around the edge of the bronze. The allowable marker sizes depend on the size of the plot.
Bronze Plaques
Plaques for the columbaria and Rose Garden memorial wall are also available for purchase. We have a beautiful selection of niche plaques, including the traditional wreath/scroll or a more customizable 9-inch square or 10-inch square plaque with several bud vase options. The Rose Garden wall plaques are optional but are a lovely way to memorialize your loved one.
Upright Monuments
Upright monuments are permitted on most full-size plots and a select number of cremation plots. All monuments are to be granite and must be placed either on an available concrete ribbon or a granite foundation. This is dependent on the type of plot purchased. We offer several sizes in grey or black granite, as well as custom colours and designs upon request.
Benches
The cemetery offers the option of purchasing a memorial bench to remember those we love. All benches must be purchased through the cemetery. We have several different options for granite and benches. Families may consult with our staff to determine the best placement for both the family and the cemetery.
Vases
Vases are a wonderful way to leave offerings at a loved one’s resting place. Vases can be purchased with markers. While it is not mandatory, it is recommended that vases and markers be purchased together for both the ease of maintenance and overall appearance of the cemetery.
Third Party Memorial Markers
Garden of Peace Cemetery does allow markers to be placed from third party marker companies, but we do require a cemetery permit indicating size and type of marker to be submitted for approval and fees paid prior to creation. Marker permit fees range in price, depending on type and size of marker. Please inquire directly for more information.
