A cast bronze marker is a memorial plate poured in solid bronze and set onto a base, most often granite, though concrete is also used. The plate sits flush with the lawn. Lettering and ornament are cast into the bronze itself rather than engraved into stone, which gives bronze its raised, sculpted look. We make cast bronze markers in a range of sizes, with borders, emblems, vases, and photo insets available.

Bronze is sometimes the cemetery's requirement rather than a family's preference. Memorial park cemeteries in particular often specify bronze throughout, so that every marker in a section matches. If yours does, that narrows things to the choices that matter most: size, border, emblem, and what the inscription says. Bronze also weathers rather than wears. It darkens to a deep patina over the years, which many families come to prefer, and it can be restored toward its original finish if you would rather it stay bright.

Whether you're planning ahead or making arrangements now, we'll confirm what your cemetery requires, show you the sizes and emblems available, and explain what drives the cost, before you decide anything.
