What we make

Details

Everything that goes on or beside a stone: a likeness, a symbol, somewhere for flowers, and carving.

Portraits

Three ways to put a face on a stone, and they do not last equally.

Type	Durability	Color	Requires
Etched	The most durable. Cut into the stone itself, so there is nothing that can come loose.	Monochrome	Black granite
Metal	Durable. What we recommend for flat markers.	Full color	—
Ceramic	The least durable of the three.	Full color	—

Metal and ceramic look alike once they are on the stone. We recommend metal anyway, because on a marker set into the ground it lasts longer. An etched portrait can only be cut into black granite. If that is the look you want, we will start from the stone and choose the rest around it with you.

Emblems and carving

Symbols, crests and decorative work, cut into the face of the stone. We engrave and carve either in our shop or on site, depending on the piece. Highly detailed or unusual work we send out.

Vases

Fixed or removable vases in granite, marble or metal. We will work with your cemetery to determine what is permitted and help your family make the right decisions.
