Flat Marker

A Granite Flat Marker typically refers to a type of gravestone or memorial marker made from granite, which is flat in shape. These markers are used to commemorate individuals, often in cemeteries. The term "flat" signifies that the marker lies flush with the ground, rather than being an upright headstone.

Granite is chosen for its durability, resistance to weathering, and the ability to inscribe detailed text or designs on it. Granite flat markers are generally simpler and lower in cost compared to upright headstones, and they can be customized with engravings, dates, and inscriptions to honor the deceased.

They are popular in many cemeteries for their simplicity and elegance, while also being easier to maintain since they are level with the ground.
