Cross Relief Granite Ledger Memorial

The Cross Relief Granite Ledger Memorial is a full-coverage flat ledger with a prominent raised cross carved in high relief at the head of the polished surface, making Christian faith the visual centerpiece of the memorial. Spanning an entire burial plot—typically 48 × 24 to 96 × 48 inches—and sitting 3–5 inches above grade, this ledger is a classic choice for Catholic cemeteries, traditional Protestant sections, and any memorial park that permits low-profile monuments.

The raised cross stands 2–4 inches above the polished face and can be positioned at the center or offset toward one end, leaving room for a family surname above the cross or beneath it. The remaining flat surface accommodates individual names and dates, a scripture verse, and laser-portrait medallions. Traditional verse choices for Christian ledger memorials include John 3:16, John 11:25–26, and 1 Corinthians 15:55 ("O death, where is thy sting?"). The relief cross can be polished or left with a natural textured finish to contrast with the polished face.

Available in seven granite colors: Galaxy Black, Indian Black, Grey, Bahama Blue, Bahama Blue Light, Indian Red, and Paradiso Old. Galaxy Black gives the raised cross maximum dimensional definition; Grey granite evokes classic Catholic memorial park aesthetics. Indian Red and Paradiso Old provide a warm, reverent tone.

Every order includes a free digital design proof showing cross placement, relief depth, inscriptions, and font selection. Your family reviews and approves every detail before production begins.
