Our bronze markers for infants and children often are designed with meaningful imagery to accompany the boy's or girl's name, and birth and death dates. Some of the most popular cemetery memorials for children are heart-shaped and teddy bear shaped plaques that are securely fastened to flat granite bases. Common engravings for headstones for children include pacifiers, toy building blocks, praying angles, Mary and her lamb, a bib, an angel and lamb, a rattle or butterflies. Some families who order monuments and markers from our company choose to provide us with one of their favorite photos of their progeny. We then create a porcelain or ceramic copy of the baby picture and attach it to the bronze plaque or grave marker. Some bronze markers or flat markers that we fabricate also include an attached bronze vase for flowers.

Flat markers are also called flat gravestones, flat headstones, grass markers, grade level flat grave markers, flat tombstones, flat cemetery monuments, flat memorials, lawn level markers or flush markers. Flat markers that memorialize the life of one person are referred to as single or individual flat markers. Flat markers that memorialize the life of two people are referred to as double or companion flat markers. Gravestones that lay flush with the ground are normally called flat markers. Raised headstones that stand upright are normally referred to as monuments. A more elaborate type of flat marker that is composed of a flat granite base with a bronze plaque attached to the top of the granite is typically described as a bronze marker. Porcelain pictures or ceramic photos can be created by Kornick & Berliner Monument Company and attached to both flat markers and upright monuments. Some customers request that the memorial they order includes a hand engraved or hand etched scene. The scenes created are often related to a hobby or passion of the deceased such as automobiles, fishing, music, religion, community involvement or a profession.
