Honoring Veterans - The Role of Military Grave Markers

Something that most cemeteries share in common is the endless headstones, grave markers, and mausoleums that seem to march endlessly into the verdant surroundings - making the purpose of grave identification a bit challenging without a map to guide visitors to a loved one's tombstone.  One of the staples of a U.S. armed forces grave that helps identify those who served is the military grave marker, a cast bronze or aluminum medallion that often holds an American flag proudly waving over the grave of the previous armed forces member. 

For the World Wars of the distant past to the perpetual war on terror still fought today, stock grave markers exist for quick delivery to honor the fallen.  Made of cast bronze or aluminum, they are naturally weather resistant for year-round display.  Each one holds an American flag by inserting the stick through a collar on the back of the cast medallion.  For proper honor, the relevant military grave medallion should be selected to represent the war the deceased served in.  Discounts apply to orders of 12, 24, and greater.  Often times cemetery managers should keep several of these on hand for larger cemeteries where the need for armed forces grave markers is almost daily.  For the fallen firefighter, Maltese cross grave markers are available, while general military grave markers honor those who ranked as such during their service to their country.

Ordering stock military grave markers is easy, as the products are shipped in a timely fashion for immediate use.  Custom grave markers may be ordered as well - for additional casting fees to create the mold for the design.  Simply fill out a quote request form for any of the grave markers shown as stock designs, and upload your graphic file to your quote request.  Casting fees will be quoted per design.
