Custom Headstones

A custom headstone is one of the most traditional methods of permanently commemorating the life of a loved one. Headstones have been custom made and hand built for centuries to reflect the personality, values, and legacy of countless individuals. Unlike a mass-produced grave marker, a handmade custom headstone is designed and tailored to the person to reflect their unique individuality and allow for a special place for loved ones to grieve and remember.

A headstone can be customized through a variety of techniques. At Tegeler, we help you select a durable material in the perfect color. We then help you consider personal touches to make your custom headstone unique, such as:

  • Religious beliefs
  • Hobbies/interests
  • Pets
  • Family roles (mother, son, etc.)
  • Organizations/groups
  • Favorite things

We can create countless images, designs, and symbols on our custom headstones based on the aforementioned or anything else that would honor your loved one.

Monument lettering can also be customized to reflect the person’s unique style and taste. Choose from different fonts and colors, as well as whether you want the lettering to be raised or cut in.
