The following is a step-by-step guide to creating a unique and lasting tribute:
Restrictions
1. Determine if cemetery regulations govern the type and/or size of the memorial and if there is any design restrictions.
Personalization
2. Reflect on the uniqueness of the person and/or persons who will be memorialized and select a fitting design. From simple sandblast carvings to elaborate color etchings, the essence of a life can be beautifully commemorated.
Shape
3. Consider different shapes for the memorial. The proper shape will complement your selected design and create a distinctive appearance.
Granite
4. Select a type of granite. There is a wide variety of granites to choose from, offering many different colors and grain patterns.
Finish
5. Choose a finish. Granite can be crafted to a high gloss finish, to achieve a contemporary appearance or can be given a matte or rough rock pitch texture, in keeping with a more traditional look.
