Granite Headstones & Memorials in Iowa
Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Davenport families across Iowa order granite grave markers built for hard Midwest winters.
Memoria Columbaria makes custom granite headstones, grave markers, columbariums, cremation benches and urns for families across Iowa. Every memorial is designed to your wishes and sent to you as a free 3D preview — approved by your family before a single piece of granite is cut.
Every memorial is carved and polished in our Los Angeles workshop, crated, and shipped by freight along the central corridors to the Midwest; your cemetery's grounds team or a local monument setter handles the final placement, which we coordinate for you.
In Iowa's climate, granite's dense, low-porosity structure resists the freeze-thaw cracking that splits marble and concrete through hard winters — which is why families across Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Sioux City and Iowa City choose solid granite over bronze or marble.
