Granite & Bronze Companion Tributes

Honoring Lifelong Bonds with Shared Remembrance

A double memorial is more than stone or metal—it’s a shared tribute to a lifelong bond. For married couples, it reflects love that endures beyond time, etched side by side in memory and meaning. Whether crafted from enduring granite or refined bronze, each companion monument tells a story of devotion, family, and legacy.

At Shevchenko Monuments in Perth Amboy, NJ, we help families honor these connections with grace, craftsmanship, and compassion—because every love story deserves to be remembered together.

🪨 Granite Companion Headstones

Strength, Elegance, and Emotional Presence

Granite offers timeless durability and expressive design options for double memorials. Whether upright, slanted, heart-shaped, or more symbolic forms like crosses and teardrops, granite headstones provide a lasting tribute that blends tradition with personal meaning.

• Upright Companion Monuments: Stately and enduring, upright headstones honor couples with balanced inscriptions and a vertical presence that stands as a testament to lifelong love.

• Heart-Shaped Memorials: Romantic and symbolic, heart-shaped granite designs reflect the emotional depth of shared remembrance with graceful curves and rich color options.

• Slanted Headstones for Couples: With a lower profile and angled face, slanted headstones offer clear inscription space and a quiet dignity that honors partnership with subtle elegance.

• Cross-Shaped Headstones: A powerful symbol of faith and eternal connection, cross-shaped companion memorials offer spiritual resonance and a striking visual impact. Ideal for couples united in religious devotion, these designs evoke peace, hope, and sacred continuity.

• Teardrop-Shaped Headstones: Elegant and emotive, teardrop-shaped granite memorials capture the beauty of remembrance and the depth of shared loss. Their flowing silhouette offers a modern yet tender tribute to enduring love.
