The monument is made of stone and is designed in a decorated Gothic style, standing approximately 10 feet tall and square in plan.

The gabled top is adorned with crockets and apex crosses, and it is surmounted by an octagonal structure supported by columns, topped with a tapered finial featuring an apex cross.
