🪦 Bronze Grave Markers in New Jersey


A Lasting Tribute to Life, Legacy, and Love


At Shevchenko Monuments, we believe that a grave marker is more than a nameplate—it’s the central piece of a memorial, a permanent reflection of a life lived and loved. For families across New Jersey, bronze grave markers offer a timeless way to honor legacy with dignity, beauty, and strength.


Whether you're seeking a traditional design or a custom bronze grave marker that reflects your loved one’s unique story, our team is here to guide you with compassion and expertise.

💎 Why Choose Bronze?


Bronze has long been the material of choice for memorials because of its unmatched combination of durability, elegance, and symbolic permanence.


  • Weather-Resistant: Bronze resists corrosion, fading, and wear—making it ideal for New Jersey’s changing seasons.


  • Low Maintenance: Its smooth surface and flush design make it easy to clean and preserve.


  • Timeless Appearance: The warm, golden-brown patina of bronze ages gracefully, offering a dignified look for generations.


  • Cemetery Compliance: Many cemeteries in New Jersey require bronze grave markers for uniformity and to ensure proper maintenance.

🧱 The Granite Base: Strength Beneath the Surface



Most bronze grave markers are mounted on granite bases, combining the elegance of bronze with the structural integrity of granite.


  • Stability: Granite provides a solid foundation that keeps the bronze plate level and secure over time.


  • Visual Contrast: The deep tones of granite beautifully frame the bronze, enhancing legibility and design.


  • Customization: Choose from granite colors like jet black, mahogany, or gray to complement your bronze design.


  • Cemetery Standards: Flush-mounted bronze-on-granite markers are standard in many New Jersey cemeteries.


This hybrid design ensures your memorial remains beautiful, compliant, and enduring.

✨ Customization Options


Every family deserves a memorial that feels personal and meaningful. We offer a wide range of customization options to help you create a tribute that reflects your loved one’s spirit.


  • Shapes & Sizes: Choose from single, companion, or child-sized markers in rectangular, beveled, or custom contours.
