Pelan Monument

Does Pelan Funeral Services offer memorials?
Yes, we do. After years of selling monuments we have decided to offer them ourselves and started Pelan Monument.  We offer the same quick responses and easy customer service that has been implemented on the funeral home side of our business. 

What type of shapes do memorials come in?
Memorials come in all sizes and shapes. There are four basic types of memorials usually sold in Nebraska: Flushers, Bevels, Slants and Uprights.

Flushers or flat markers are those memorials that you see “flush” with the ground. They are made of granite, Georgia Marble or bronze. They are most common in the “flush or flat” sections of the cemeteries.

Bevels are those memorials that are slightly taller in the back than the front and have a “beveled” lettering face. They are usually 6 - 8 inches at their tallest point in the back and around 4 - 6 inches at the front. They are sold in granite or Georgia Marble.

Slants are those memorials that are wedge shaped. They normally stand about 16 inches tall and give you a slanted front and straight backside that you can letter. They can be purchased in granite or Georgia Marble.

Uprights are the memorials that are most common. They are larger than the other three types of stones in the cemetery. They are usually two parts consisting of a tablet and a base. They come in standard, special, and custom shapes and offer more area for lettering and design. These types of memorials are normally made of granite or Georgia Marble.

What is a memorial made of?
Memorials should be made of bronze, granite, or Georgia Marble. There are other types of materials that some companies offer but they do not hold up over time. We choose not to use these materials, as they cannot be guaranteed.


What colors do granite memorials come in?
Granite memorials come in hundreds of colors. Since granite is a natural material its color may vary slightly depending on depth or section of the quarry. Try to choose a color not only based on what you like but also on what might work best for your design and particular cemetery. 


What does a memorial cost?
The price of a memorial will vary depending on your desires. Things that figure into the cost of memorial include its material, size, color, shape, polished areas, and unique customization. When we price a memorial we include the lettering, setting, the foundation, and all Nebraska taxes.
