Our granite monuments can be fully customized and are available in a wide variety of styles, shapes, and sizes. With an extensive selection of granite colors, you can choose the perfect combination to create a beautiful, lasting tribute to your loved one.
With generations of experience, we understand that a memorial is more than stone—it’s a deeply personal reflection of a life lived and a legacy remembered.
A single monument is a permanent memorial designed to mark the final resting place of one individual. It serves as both a tribute to their life and a place for loved ones to visit and remember. We have the experience and expertise to help you create the perfect individual headstone that honors your loved one’s memory.
Design & Materials
Single monuments are typically crafted from durable materials such as granite or marble, chosen for their ability to withstand weather and time. Granite is especially popular due to its strength, variety of colors, and ability to hold finely detailed engraving.
Styles & Shapes
Upright Monuments: Traditional, standing headstones with customizable shapes—rectangular, oval, or uniquely sculpted.
Personalization Options
Engraving can include:
The person’s name, birth, and passing dates
Epitaphs or quotes that reflect their personality or beliefs
Symbols, religious icons, or custom artwork
Photographic etchings or Ceramic Cameos for a lifelike portrait
Purpose & Meaning
Beyond marking a grave, a single monument provides a focal point for remembrance. It offers comfort to family and friends, serving as a lasting celebration of an individual’s life, achievements, and legacy.
A companion monument is designed to honor two individuals—often spouses or family members—resting side by side. It serves as a shared memorial, symbolizing the bond they shared in life.
Design & Materials
Crafted from enduring granite or marble, companion monuments are built to last for generations. There is space for personalized inscriptions for each individual.
Personalization Options
Names, dates, and epitaphs for both individuals
Shared quotes, verses, or meaningful symbols
Artwork or carvings that reflect their life together.
Photographic etchings or Ceramic Cameos for a lifelike portrait
Purpose & Meaning
A companion monument is more than a marker—it is a testament to a lasting relationship, offering a single, unified place for family and friends to pay their respects.
A custom-shaped monument offers a truly personal way to honor a loved one. Unlike traditional designs, these memorials can be crafted into unique shapes—such as hearts, crosses, natural objects, or symbolic silhouettes—that reflect the individual’s personality, passions, or beliefs.
Design & Options
Custom monuments can be created for either individual or companion memorials, allowing for a single tribute or a shared design that tells a joint story. Skilled craftsmen use high-quality materials like granite or marble to ensure the monument remains beautiful and enduring for generations.
Personalization
Engraving, detailed carvings, or laser etching can be added to further customize the design. Families often choose meaningful symbols, quotes, or portraits to make the monument as unique as the life it represents.
Purpose & Meaning
A custom-shaped monument goes beyond marking a resting place—it creates a lasting symbol of identity and legacy, offering family and friends a one-of-a-kind place to gather, remember, and reflect.
