Clark Memorials finds most people choose the flat bronze grave marker. It can be used as the headstone or footstone. It is 24 inches long, 12 inches wide, with 3/4 inch rise. Weight is approximately 18 pounds. Anchor bolts, nuts and washers for fastening to a base are furnished with the marker. The government does not furnish a base. We offer the granite base to go under a bronze government marker and we will explain additional memorialization options, such as flower vases or verses to further personalize the headstone.

If the veteran already has a marker and the spouse now requires a matching memorial, Clark Memorials is here to assist you.

Please be aware that if the government marker is to be placed in a private cemetery, all foundation and installation costs are the responsibility of the veteran or his/her family.
