Our Memorial Accessories complement most of our Bronze Grave Markers and Bronze Plaque designs. For custom orders, we have an on-staff sculptor that can assist with the creation of your custom design to meet your exact needs.
Below you’ll find galleries showcasing the accessories we offer including bronze vases, ceramic portraits, bronze emblems and granite foundations. Whether you choose one of our existing designs or have us custom create those finishing touches, our attention to detail and commitment to quality work will ensure you are satisfied with the final product.
Our bronze vases can be purchased to mount directly into the bronze headstone or to be mounted above the bronze headstone. When a vase is to be mounted only in the granite above the bronze headstone, then you also need the bronze ring.
Each vase order also includes all necessary mounting items and the plastic canister that allows you to turn the vase upside down and hide it when not in use so the cemetery can mow the lawns more easily.
At CR Bronzeworks we offer Porcelain (ceramic) portrait memorials to add to an existing bronze or granite grave marker. Our ceramic portraits are fired at very high temperatures (up to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit), ensuring that they will endure the extremes of weather and environment. The cermamic portrait colors will not fade and the medallion finish will not deteriorate – ensuring the permanence expected in the memorial industry today.
Porcelain portraits are imaged onto flat or domed enameled medallions. The low profile medallion is easy to install and approved for flat markers in many cemeteries. It requires a very shallow recess for mounting flush on a granite marker. Most of our customers mount the portraits to a bronze marker using silicone or epoxy, as well as the highly durable 3M double sided tape.
Each grave marker comes with one emblem at no charge if it is a design we already have. Custom emblems can be created for just about anything you need, and vary in price based on the style of emblem and size. Please do not hesitate to ask for a quote.
In almost all cases, the bronze grave markers and plaques we manufacture will be mounted to a flat granite or concrete foundation. Custom ordered for your marker, the granite foundation is shipped directly to the cemetery or location of your choosing with the correct mounting and vase holes pre-drilled. The bronze is then mounted to its foundation (granite or concrete) and placed at the grave site, usually by the cemetery, for a fee.
It is best to first check with your cemetery to see if they provide the granite foundation and what their costs are. In order to shop for the best price, it is best to to compare our cost against theirs. Some cemeteries have very specific rules about granite sizes and colors, so be very careful to find out exactly what the rules are in the cemetery you are working with. Because granite is very heavy it can be expensive to ship the bronze marker with the foundation from Orem, Utah to your cemetery. In many cases, it is more cost effective for you to ship the bronze marker to your cemetery and have them mount the bronze to a granite or cement foundation at the burial location.
