Memorial Walls

Memorial Walls mark a moment in time and draw us to reflect and learn about individuals, poignant events or causes that society deems vital to remember. Rural towns, municipalities, corporations, institutions, and cemeteries commission memorial walls to commemorate these important moments in time and people. At Sunset, we recognize the need for customization and imagination when making memorial wall designs. We understand that each project is unique onto its own. We offer design and graphic art capability to assist with any type of memorial wall.

Cremation Memorials

Based on state regulations, the scattering of cremated remains may occur in natural settings, in certain bodies of water, and in some cemetery properties. To address a growing need for cremation memorialization, cemeteries are introducing formal scattering gardens and designated areas for alternative cremation interment. For cemeteries, churches, or institutions seeking permanent memorialization we can custom design and manufacture memorial walls and memorial benches specifically to meet this need. These monuments can be embellished with laser etching, inscriptions, or memorial wall plaques.

Our memorial walls are not only free-standing, they can also be incorporated on the sides of any of our columbarium walls or columbaria memorials. So if you are purchasing a Sunset columbarium, don’t hesitate to ask about adding additional commemoration to the side walls of the unit. Our Art Department will be able to assist with custom-designed artwork that conveys reverence and artistry. Insignias, inspirational quotes, and graphic designs can be added to the sidewalls of our columbaria.

Just like columbarium plaques, memorial plaques can be set onto any free standing granite memorial walls with either bolts or epoxy adhesives. Some plaque styles require pre-drilling holes in the granite, while others can be set into defined spaces with epoxy.

Memorial Walls FAQs

A memorial wall is significant because it honors people who passed away in tragic occurrences and helps people remember the event and the deceased. Moreover, it educates future generations on the events that took place, like a war or a natural disaster. And it brings people together as one community to remember and reflect on the loss that happened.

At Sunset, we create memorial walls from granite, as it’s durable, comes in various colors, and can withstand different weather conditions.

You can customize your memorial wall the way you want your loved ones to be remembered. You can add inscribed or engraved names, quotes, words, symbols, or dates of events. Speak with our team to learn more about your customization options.

The main difference between a memorial wall and a columbarium wall is that the former serves to celebrate the memory of the deceased without hosting their remains. A columbarium wall, on the other hand, holds the urns that carry the remains of the dead. That’s why the second difference between them is that the memorial wall is a solid wall with engravings, inscriptions, or plaques attached to it. A columbarium wall has compartments to place the urns inside them.

Memorial Wall Build Timeline

If we have the granite in stock, the memorial wall can be ready within three weeks after the design is approved.

In general though, most of our memorial walls are customized and require a special granite order.

This turn around process can take around 3 months.
