Traditional Monument Tutorial
Die Accents
After selecting the top and side cuts, there are several additional options you can select as accents. The two top corners are often cut with a round, chamfer, scotia, ogee, rabbet, check, or a simple margin accent. These options look very attractive when combined with a straight polished top. All accents are sized according to the dimensions of the monument.
| Die Accents | |

| Rabbet Corners | Round Corners |

| Chamfer Corners | Scotia Corners |

 |
| Ogee Corners | Interior Check |
Base Accents
Bases can also be modified with specific accents. Popular base accents include finished sides, side margins, drop washes, and round base ends. Single or double planters are also a popular option for integrating greenery directly into the monument. Round edges and planters require extra long bases which may exceed cemetery lot restrictions in some cases.
