Keepstones temporary memorial markers like the one shown here provide a dignified cemetery marker and provide a lasting family keepsake. This style of memorial is created from dolomitic stone. It often serves as attractive, temporary grave marker while a permanent grave stone is being completed for the cemetery or memorial garden. Once the permanent grave stone is in place, this temporary Dolomitic Keepstones Memorial Marker can serve as a family keepsake. It is designed for use as a tasteful memorial garden stone - a unique and powerful testament to a loved one who has passed away.

This beautiful standard sized memorial stone is crafted from Dolostone, a natural, high-density limestone with compressive strength, durability, and absorption rates comparable to granite. Our dolomitic stone is predominantly gray with some blue veining and is rectangular in shape, measuring 11 x 5 ½ in. x 1 in. and weighing 7 pounds. The top of each stone has a honed, smooth finish and chamfered edges. Your dolomite stone may include 1 image that you select and can be personalized with your special and personal engraved words. Your message is engraved into the stone and then colored with a black acrylic stain. This stain is resistant to chipping or fading, so your message will remain year after year.

If you plan to place this marker temporarily in a cemetery, please check with the cemetery to ensure that they will accept it. We will assume that you have checked with their guidelines and rules before you order this memorial.

Personalize with Graphics

You may select a graphic image to be engraved on the stone at no additional cost. See the Clip Art options below for your selection.
