What Is a Companion Monument?
A companion monument is a memorial designed to honor two or more people on a single monument. There are many different types of companion monuments to choose from, including upright, slant, and lawn level markers. Our experienced memorial consultants will work with you to help design a meaningful monument that honors the lives of your loved ones.
Why Do Families Choose Companion Monuments?
Companion monuments feature a larger surface space than single monuments and are a popular choice for families looking to memorialize more than one family member. Many families choose to honor a couple with a companion monument or a set of siblings. Companion monuments offer a wide space for personalization with engraving or etching.
What Are the Different Types of Companion Monuments?
Companion Upright Monuments
Companion upright monuments feature a large, flat surface area that can be personalized with engraving or etching. Companion upright monuments can be designed with many different edges and shapes to reflect your loved one’s wishes and personalities.
Slant Memorials
Companion slant memorials sit lower in the ground than upright memorials. They feature a smooth face that is elevated in the back and lower in the front. This large, flat space allows for personalization with multiple names and etchings of loved ones.
Companion Lawn Level Markers
Companion lawn level markers are ground-level monuments, and are most often seen in cemeteries and memorial gardens. They feature a flat face that allows for personalization and etching and are a good option for families looking for a more economical option.

Accreditations and Associations
From my brother’s first contact with Spring Valley Monuments in December 2021 after our father’s death at 100, to my continuing and completing the order, SVM, and most especially, Maureen, have been diligent, patient, thoughtful, and thorough. Not only did we need my dad’s inscription completed, but also my mother-in-law’s which was never done. Thank you all at Spring Valley Monuments. And thank you to Maureen for her care and kindness. ”
