When you search "granite monuments near me" in Oklahoma, you want someone close, experienced, and honest. That's been Gifford Monument since 1936.
Granite is the most durable natural stone available for memorials. It resists Oklahoma's weather — the heat, the ice, the wind — better than marble, limestone, or bronze alone. A well-crafted granite monument installed today will still be standing and legible in 100 years.
Granite comes in dozens of colors: jet black (the most popular for portrait engraving), deep red, forest green, gray, pink, and more. Each color has different grain characteristics that affect how engraving and artwork appear. We'll guide you through the options so the stone matches the person it honors.
Every style is available in 40+ granite colors with custom artwork, engraving, and full cemetery installation included.
The classic choice — standing 18 to 36 inches tall, single or double panels. Personalized with names, dates, portraits, emblems, scriptures, or custom artwork.
From $2,800Required by many Oklahoma cemeteries. Set at ground level, fully personalized, available in all granite colors and sizes.
From $1,204A popular middle-ground — slightly raised with a forward-facing angle. Good visibility, lower profile, often more affordable than a full upright.
From $2,460Two names, one stone. Designed for couples or side-by-side family plots. Available in all sizes, styles, and granite colors.
From $4,258Military branch emblems, rank, dates of service, and decorations. We work with VA-approved designs and veteran benefit programs.
From $2,800Approached with patience and care. Custom shapes, soft artwork, gentle inscriptions. No templates unless that's what the family wants.
