Memorials








Elmwood Cemetery is a place of diversity in the range and scope of the artistic memorials that have been placed here to honor those at rest. More than designating a burial location, memorials serve as a reminder and a celebration of the life of a loved one. From lawn level markers on individual graves, to family monuments, each memorial at Elmwood can be customized to a family’s wishes. You may choose from an array of sizes and styles offered from a selection of top quality manufacturers. Using the finest materials, from bronze to granite, available in a variety of shades and colors, your memorial can be personalized with a meaningful statement and design. An experienced advisor will review the variety of choices available so that you can create a memorial that will be a lasting tribute for you and your loved ones.

Tributes
Commemorate your loved one’s personal events – birthday, anniversary, date of passing and other special life moments, as well as national holidays and the different seasons -- with special grave decorations available through Elmwood.

We continue to welcome fresh floral tributes in all outdoor areas. At our office, you can obtain temporary metal vases for your use, free of charge. No glass containers, please. Artificial flowers are only allowed in our mausoleums.
