Please note that we can build coping in a wide range of sizes, styles, and colors.
For our family plot, we used a steeled finish for the surface with balance rock pitch, also known as rustic or chipped, for the sides. The corner posts are approximately 3 feet tall, with my father’s last name and his mother’s maiden name, and the same for my mother’s family, carved on each post.
The coping explains this, as I will someday be dead, and there will be questions by observers to the cemetery. The explanation provides a historical record for the family.
