Our Services for East Ridgelawn Cemetery Families
Upright Granite Monuments
Traditional upright monuments remain one of the most popular memorial choices throughout East Ridgelawn Cemetery. These memorials provide generous space for personalized inscriptions, family names, religious symbols, decorative carvings, floral artwork, and meaningful memorial designs that celebrate the life of a loved one.
Every monument is custom designed to reflect the family’s wishes while complying with the cemetery’s current requirements and maintaining the timeless beauty expected of a lasting memorial.
Companion & Family Monuments
Companion and family monuments provide families with a unified memorial that honors spouses and multiple generations within a single design.
Whether creating a new family memorial or complementing an existing monument, Memorial Arts carefully considers granite color, lettering style, monument proportions, and overall design to create a memorial that blends naturally with surrounding family monuments.
Matching existing family memorials is a common request at East Ridgelawn Cemetery, and our team takes great care to preserve the appearance and character of established family lots whenever possible.
Flat Granite Memorials
Flat granite memorials may be permitted depending on the cemetery section and current regulations.
Designed to sit flush with the ground, these memorials provide a clean, timeless appearance while allowing families to personalize the design with names, dates, inscriptions, religious symbols, decorative borders, floral artwork, and other approved memorial elements.
Before production begins, Memorial Arts verifies whether a flat granite memorial is permitted for the specific grave location and confirms all applicable cemetery requirements.
Slant Memorials
Slant memorials offer a traditional appearance while providing greater visibility than flush memorials. Their angled face creates additional space for personalized inscriptions, religious artwork, decorative carvings, and meaningful memorial designs.
Because slant memorials are permitted only in certain sections, Memorial Arts confirms eligibility before beginning the design process, helping ensure the memorial complies with East Ridgelawn Cemetery’s current requirements.
Bronze Memorials
Bronze memorials may be permitted in designated sections of East Ridgelawn Cemetery depending on current cemetery regulations.
These memorials provide a timeless and durable tribute that may be personalized with names, dates, religious emblems, decorative borders, floral artwork, portraits, and other approved design features.
Every bronze memorial is carefully designed and reviewed before production begins to ensure compliance with cemetery requirements while creating a meaningful and lasting remembrance.
Ceramic Photos
Ceramic photos provide families with another meaningful way to personalize a memorial by preserving a cherished photograph of their loved one.
When incorporated into an approved memorial design, ceramic photos create a lasting visual tribute that complements the overall monument while celebrating the memory of the individual being honored.
Our team assists families with photo selection, sizing, placement, and memorial layout to ensure the finished design remains balanced, respectful, and beautifully crafted.
Second Inscriptions
Many of the memorials throughout East Ridgelawn Cemetery represent generations of family history. When the time comes to add a second inscription, preserving the appearance of the original monument is just as important as the new lettering itself.
Memorial Arts of Ridgewood provides professional second inscription services with meticulous attention to detail. Before any work begins, our team carefully evaluates the existing memorial to match the original design as closely as possible, including:
- Lettering style
- Letter size
- Letter spacing
- Alignment
- Existing layout
- Overall monument appearance
Whether adding a name, dates, or a personalized inscription, our goal is to create a seamless addition that honors another loved one while preserving the integrity and beauty of the original memorial.
Memorial Restoration
Granite and bronze memorials are designed to last for generations, but years of exposure to weather, seasonal conditions, and natural aging can gradually affect their appearance. Dirt, biological growth, discoloration, and fading may reduce the beauty and readability of a memorial over time.
Memorial Arts of Ridgewood offers professional restoration services designed to preserve existing memorials while respecting their original craftsmanship.
Our restoration services include:
- Professional memorial cleaning
- Granite restoration
- Bronze memorial refinishing
- Letter repainting when appropriate

Whether your memorial was originally purchased through Memorial Arts or another monument company, we are happy to discuss available restoration options.
