Frequently Asked Questions About Cemetery Memorials
Our Memorial Products
What types of cemetery memorials do you offer?
We offer a wide selection of high-quality memorial products crafted from the finest imported granites. Our offerings include traditional upright granite headstones, flat grave markers, grave monuments, and custom-designed memorial stones. We also provide specialized options, such as veteran memorial stones and pet memorials, to honor every member of your family.
Can I customize a gravestone with unique designs and inscriptions?
Yes, creating a personalized tribute is at the heart of what we do. Our customized gravestones can feature unique designs, heartfelt inscriptions, specific dates, names, and meaningful symbols. Our team will work closely with you to design a memorial that perfectly represents the life and spirit of your loved one, taking the time to make sure that every detail is just right.
What kind of information can I include on a grave monument?
You can include a variety of information on a grave monument to create a personal and lasting tribute. Common choices include the full name of the deceased, dates of birth and death, and a personal epitaph or quote. Many families also choose to add religious symbols, emblems of service, or custom-etched images that reflect the individual's passions and life.
What are the differences between flat markers and granite headstones?
The main difference is their orientation. Flat markers, also known as flush markers, are set level with the ground, offering a simple and uniform look across the cemetery. Granite headstones are upright monuments that stand vertically, providing more space for detailed inscriptions, designs, and greater visibility from a distance. Both are made from durable granite and can be customized to your preferences.
What options are available for veteran memorial stones?
We are honored to help families commemorate the service of their loved ones. We offer specialized veteran memorial stones that can be customized with official military emblems, ranks, dates of service, and other honors. Our team is knowledgeable about the specific requirements for veteran memorials and can guide you in creating a dignified and respectful tribute.
Care and Maintenance
Do you provide grave marker cleaning services?
Yes, we offer professional gravestone cleaning and lettering services to restore existing memorials and help them remain legible. Over time, exposure to the elements can cause memorials to weather and accumulate dirt. Our careful cleaning process can revitalize the stone, while our lettering services can touch up faded inscriptions to help the memorial remain a proud tribute.
What kind of maintenance needs do cemetery memorials have?
Our cemetery memorials are crafted from high-quality granite designed to withstand the test of time with minimal maintenance. We recommend periodic cleaning to remove environmental buildup and preserve the stone's natural beauty. For any concerns about wear, lettering, or structural integrity, our team is available to provide professional assessment and maintenance services.
