Cremation Monuments That Honor and Endure: What Maggard Memorials Offers

As more families choose cremation for their loved ones, many are looking for meaningful and lasting ways to create a permanent tribute. At Maggard Memorials, we believe that every life deserves to be honored in a personal and enduring way. That’s why we offer a wide range of cremation monuments—each designed to provide a beautiful space for remembrance, reflection, and peace.

Whether you're planning ahead or remembering someone dear, we’re here to help you explore cremation monument options that fit your vision, values, and budget.

Types of Cremation Monuments Available at Maggard Memorials

1. Cremation Benches
Cremation benches are both functional and symbolic. These custom-designed stone benches often include a discreet space to hold cremated remains, while also serving as a peaceful place to sit and reflect. They can be placed in cemeteries, memorial gardens, or even private property (when permitted), and are a beautiful way to invite visitors to pause and remember.

2. Columbarium Niches
A

columbarium is a structure made to house cremation urns, typically found in cemeteries or memorial parks. Whether it’s a public or private columbarium, we help families choose and personalize niches with engraved plaques or decorative fronts that tell a loved one’s story.

3. Cremation Pedestals & Pillars
These monuments are elegant, vertical structures that often contain a secure, hidden urn compartment. Pedestals can be personalized with engravings, photos, or religious symbols, making them a striking yet timeless tribute.

4. Cremation Headstones & Grave Markers
Many families choose to bury cremated remains in a family plot or a special place in a cemetery. In these cases, we offer a full range of cremation-compatible upright headstones, flat markers, and slant markers, which can be customized with names, dates, artwork, or inscriptions that capture the essence of a loved one’s life.

5. Urn Garden Memorials
Some cemeteries offer designated “urn gardens” for cremated remains. We design and install custom markers and mini-monuments specifically for these spaces, often incorporating natural elements like stone, bronze, or garden features.

6. Companion Cremation Monuments
Designed to hold the cremated remains of two individuals, these monuments are ideal for couples or family members who wish to be memorialized together. They’re available in many styles, including benches, upright monuments, or double niches
