Dakota Mahogany has long been known as one of the most aesthetically beautiful granites in the monument industry. Because Dakota Mahogany is a warmer stone than most granites, many families feel better about how their loved one's memorial looks. The rich browns, blues and reds echo the colors of nature; as a result, our memorials look beautiful in every season.

Present a picture from our Monument Design Gallery to an authorized Dakota Granite dealer for details on how you can order your own Dakota Granite monument. They can answer questions about the monuments in our gallery or help design a custom memorial especially for you.

Monuments are have many different forms, there are upright traditional dies, hickeys, slants, grass markers or granite under bronze (GUB). The list below will show a few general styles of monuments.

	Upright Dies are the more traditional memorials. Sizes, shapes and finishes can be customized for each memorial. Carving and lettering is added to personalize the memorial. Further personal tributes can be added with etchings of photos or favorite scenes that remind us of our special loved one. Photos can also be attached to the face of the memorial. These memorials have an unlimited amount of customizing options to personalize your memorial.
	Slants are a variation of the upright die. The face of these memorials are cut at an angle. The face can have a margin along the bottom or can be angled to the bottom of the monument. The typical finish of these memorials are a polished face, sawn back and balance is rock pitched.
	Hickey or Bevel are similiar to grass markers except they are not flush with the ground. The face of these memorials have a 2" slope from the back to front.
	Grassers or Flat Markers have a low profile have a polished face. These memorials have been made the "rule" for many memorial parks and cemeteries who restrict upright monuments.
	Granite Under Bronze (GUB) are memorials with a flat bronze marker attached to the granite base. These are low profile memorials generally used for those Americans who have provided service in one of our military branches.
