Flat, beveled, slant, and bronze markers
Marker styles vary by cemetery section and family preference. The office can explain how each option affects visibility, inscription space, maintenance, and cost.
Service
Grave markers selected with clear cemetery guidance.
Grave markers can be simple, personal, and lasting. Sadler & Son helps families choose flat, beveled, slant, bronze, and granite marker options that fit cemetery requirements.
What should families know about grave markers?
A grave marker is often lower-profile than an upright monument and may be flat, beveled, slanted, bronze, or granite. The cemetery usually determines what marker types and sizes are allowed in a particular section.
Choosing size and inscription
Marker size is affected by the number of names, dates, emblems, flowers, photos, and available grave space. A design proof helps families check the layout before ordering.
Installation help
Sadler & Son can help coordinate marker details with the cemetery so the family has a clear next step after approving the design.

What happens after you call
We talk
Call us or visit the Hobbs or Roswell office. Tell us about your loved one, the cemetery, and what you have in mind — or let us walk you through the options if you are not sure yet.
You approve the drawing
We prepare a to-scale drawing of the design and wording and send it by email, text, fax, or mail so your whole family can review it. Nothing is carved until you approve.
Your approval comes first
We handle cemetery approval
Every cemetery has rules about size, height, marker type, and foundations. We check the requirements and handle the approval so you do not have to.
We make your memorial in-house
Your memorial is made in our own workshop, in granite and marble — by the same family business that has cared for these details for generations.
We deliver and install
We coordinate delivery, the foundation, and installation with the cemetery, and make sure everything is set right.

Common questions
Helpful answers before a family calls.
How much does a headstone cost?
Headstone cost depends on granite or marble color, size, shape, finish, inscription, artwork, photos, vases, cemetery requirements, delivery, and installation. Sadler & Son reviews those details before giving a clear quote.
How long does a monument take?
Most monument timelines depend on cemetery approval, design proofing, granite availability, production, delivery, and installation scheduling. The office explains the likely timeline once the memorial style and cemetery are known.
Can you help with cemetery rules?
Yes. Cemetery rules often affect size, height, placement, foundation, and marker type. Sadler & Son helps families check requirements before a final design is approved.
What is the difference between a headstone and a grave marker?
A headstone often refers to an upright memorial, while a grave marker is commonly a lower-profile marker such as a flat, beveled, slant, bronze, or granite cemetery marker. Cemetery rules often determine which is allowed.
