Colmer Monument Works is now part of the Hudson Monuments family.
Upright monuments are the most common type of memorials. Consisting of two components, the top section called the die and the bottom component called the base, these memorials are designed to stand upright. These memorials can be created in a variety of shapes and can be personalized in many ways.

Slant monuments are a type of memorial that incorporates a vertical back face and a slanted front face, sloping at about 45-degrees. Like Upright monuments, a slant monument typically has a base. Slant monuments can be created in a range of shapes and can be personalized, in the same ways as upright monuments, but are smaller in size – typically no taller than 18-inches.

Bench memorials are a type of memorial that incorporates a seating surface for visitors to utilize. Allowed in certain cemeteries, these memorials are also often placed in parks or other suitable locations. Engravings and designs on these memorials are typically located on the sides of the seating surface or on the vertical surfaces offered by a pedestal base or incorporated tablet surface.

Flush markers are a type of memorial that is installed flush to the ground surface. These memorials have limited space for engraving and design and typically include entries for 1 or 2 individuals. Despite the limited space, personalized designs are possible and popular.

Granite comes in a variety of colors, but only some are suitable for carving, engraving, and etching for memorials. We are careful to offer only the best quality granites for memorial construction to ensure any memorial you order from us will be of the highest quality and durability. The characteristics of each granite are distinct and affect the overall feel and appearance of a memorial. The granite you select for your memorial is an important decision and we are happy to walk you through it.
Motifs can be incorporated in a memorial through designs that are engraved or etched into the granite of your memorial. Engravings are a form of design that are cut deep into a memorial surface. Engravings are a traditional type of monument design and includes flat designs such as stylized line borders, as well as designs which can be shaped, such as flowers, clouds, ivy, and other details.
Etchings are designs that are cut more shallowly into the surface of the granite memorial. At Hudson Monuments, we etch our memorials with a diamond tip, which results in etchings with high contrast and permanence. Because the diamond is small, we are able to create highly detailed designs including portraits.
Together Forever
Always in our hearts
Love Always
Forever in Our Hearts
Keeper of the Stars
Love is eternal
Gone from our lives but not from our Hearts
A love of two hearts with one beat
In Loving Memory
Let perpetual light shine upon them
Eternal rest grant upon them
How blest are they who trust in Christ
For those whose lives you touched, we will always remember you as loving us
The lord gave and the lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the lord
Long Form
