Explore Our Memorial Styles and Design Options
Memorials come in many styles, shapes, and sizes—each serving as a lasting tribute to a life well lived. At Midwest Memorials, we design and install custom granite monuments, headstones, and memorials for families throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin.
From traditional upright monuments and flat grave markers to benches, columbariums, and bronze memorials, each option is crafted with care, cemetery compliance in mind, and long-term durability. Our role is to guide you through every memorial style with clarity and compassion, helping you select a granite memorial that reflects your vision, honors your loved one, and stands the test of time.
Flat Markers
Custom Monuments
Fully custom granite memorials designed to reflect individuality, personal legacy, and artistic vision. These monuments allow for unique shapes, engraving styles, imagery, and finishes while meeting cemetery requirements and long-term durability standards.
Upright Monuments
Traditional upright granite monuments available in a wide range of granite colors, sizes, and engraving styles. Upright headstones offer strong visual presence and flexibility for detailed personalization and family memorials.
Traditium Series
Traditium units offer a classy modern way to hold urns above ground similar to a columbarium.
Slant Monuments
Slant monuments feature an angled face, offering increased visibility while maintaining a lower profile than upright monuments. This style provides a balanced option between traditional upright headstones and flat grave markers.
Hmong Monuments
We work closely with Hmong families to create monuments that respectfully reflect cultural traditions, honor ancestors, and preserve family legacy for generations to come.
Hand Sculpted Monuments
Hand-sculpted memorials allow for intricate, artistic detail carved directly into granite. This option elevates custom memorial design, creating a truly one-of-a-kind tribute.
Columbariums
Columbarium’s provide a dignified and permanent option for cremation memorialization within cemetery grounds. Designs vary in size and layout and can be customized to meet cemetery requirements and family preferences.
Memorial Benches
Memorial benches combine remembrance with function, offering a place for reflection within cemetery grounds. These granite benches can be customized with names, dates, inscriptions, and designs that honor a lasting legacy.
Flat granite monument markers sit level with the ground and are a common option for cemeteries with specific regulations. These markers can be personalized with inscriptions, symbols, and artwork while maintaining a clean, timeless appearance.
Bronze Monuments
Bronze markers offer a classic and durable memorial option, often paired with a granite base. Commonly used for veterans memorials and traditional cemetery settings, bronze provides long-lasting detail and distinction.
Temporary Markers
Temporary granite markers provide a respectful way to mark a grave site while a permanent monument is being designed and produced. These markers include a steel stand and allow families to honor their loved one during the interim period before final installation.
Veteran Memorials
Veteran memorials honor service and sacrifice through custom granite monuments designed for cemeteries, public spaces, and memorial displays.
Reflection Stones
Reflection Stones offer a meaningful alternative to traditional memorials, designed for gardens, homes, weddings, and remembrance spaces. These engraved granite pieces also serve as thoughtful memorial gifts or keepsakes.
Community Signs
We can create community signs for any community project or private property signage design.
