Monument Size and Accommodating Text: One important consideration is whether the chosen monument is spacious enough to accommodate all the desired text and names. For a single grave with double-depth interment, a 42″ base monument can hold two names. Side by side monuments with a 90″ base are often recommended for graves that are side by side. The monument’s width does not have to be the full 90″; it just needs to be centered between the plots to create a balanced and aesthetically pleasing memorial.  Consider asking our sales representatives at Sunset Memorial & Stone if you wish to see and learn more about the various husband-and-wife monument options.
