Memorials

What people sometime call “grave stones” are actually memorials. Beautiful and made from bronze or granite, these act as landmarks for family and friends to come visit, while also preserving the deceased’s spirit through some form of description. They might sit upright or lay flat on the ground.

With ground burial, the options may include upright granite monuments, markers in granite or bronze which lie flat on the grave, or a granite boulder. With casket or urn entombment, the memorialization is the inscription on the crypt or niche front.

Another option is to have your loved one’s name inscribed in a Book of Remembrance or on our Trees of Life. 

We encourage families to search for and find the memorial monument option that is best for the honouring of their deceased loved ones and we are pleased to offer a robust selection of memorials and adornments. The Ontario Monument Builders Association (OMBA) also provides detailed information about memorials and a directory of Ontario monument retailers, providing added choice for customers seeking memorials and adornments that provide comfort, beauty and peaceful reflection in memory of their loved ones. Visit OMBA for more information.

Our Guarantee

A finely crafted monument should have a permanence and enduring beauty to withstand the test of time. Should you purchase your memorial at a Mount Pleasant Group of Cemeteries location, we will replace, without charge, any part of the memorial that should crack, discolour or prove defective in any way that’s attributable to the granite or workmanship.
