A bronze marker is made in cast bronze.  You can get creative with the design or keep it simple.  

If you are a United States Veteran you are entitled to a government marker upon death.  This is a 2 foot x 1 foot bronze marker.  You need your discharge papers (DD-214) to receive the marker and an application must be filled out upon death (we can help you with this process).  The only cost involved is the cemetery's cost to place the marker at the grave site.  Some families choose a different alternative and choose to adhere the government marker to the front or back of a monument.
