Mausoleums: Mausoleums can be a building with stained glass windows and a bronze door (called a walk in mausoleum), or they can also be a smaller above ground building that has no windows or doors (called a crypt) where the person is entombed. There is also a smaller version of a crypt, used for cremations. This is called a columbarium.

Traditional Upright: These are typically a two piece memorial consisting of the monument and a base.

Slant markers: These stand typically 16 or so inches above the ground with the back of the stone straight vertical, and the front sloping at about a 45 degree angle.

Bevel markers: These are not very high above the ground, with the back of the stone being a few inches higher than the front.

Flush markers: These are placed flush with the ground.
