Other Types of Cemetery Memorials
Bench & Cremation Memorials for Honoring Loved Ones
Upright monuments and grave markers are probably the most common options people select for their burial spaces. However, several perhaps less traditional memorial options are also available for those looking for a unique way to remember or be remembered.
Within the North Lawn and West Lawn cemeteries, we allow bench memorials and cremation memorials to be placed over burial plots (adjacent spaces for two people). Customized memorials in high quality granite allow for names, dates, emblems and built-in vases for holding flowers.
Purchasing Memorials Through Canton Cemetery Association
Bench and cremation memorials are types of monuments placed on a granite base over at least two graves. With our extensive network of vendors, we are able to get most colors of granite and provide any type of design as long as they fall within the rules of the cemetery.
Specific considerations of which you’ll need to be aware include:
- The size of the monument in relation to the burial plot
- The location of the monument on the plot
- The size of the base and the monument
- Materials used must be granite, marble, or approved bronze
- No offensive language or images will be permitted
All monuments must be approved by the Canton Cemetery Association. Family advisors will assist you in making selections should you choose to purchase your memorial through us. If you choose to purchase through a retailer, you’ll need to be sure your selection and installation follow all cemetery regulations.

Advantages of Pre-Planning Burial Arrangements
Selecting a memorial type, style, material, and design are just a few of the end-of-life decisions that must be made. Plus, memorials must work with your gravesite selection, cemetery rules, and more. Give your family a gift of love by exploring and selecting your options before they are needed.
