Custom Work

Custom monument work means we start from a sketch, a photograph, or an idea you bring in, rather than a catalog page. With techniques that include laser engraving and sandblasting, we accomplish personalized designs that beautifully represent a lost loved one — sculpted shapes outside the standard tablet, full-color portraits, bilingual inscriptions, scripture panels, and motifs that matter to a specific family. The materials are still granite, marble, or bronze; the shape and the artwork are wherever the family chooses to take them.

A custom monument starts with a design conversation, moves to a scaled drawing for the family to mark up, and finishes with a final proof before any stone is cut. Lead times run longer than a stock monument because the shop sometimes needs to source a specific block of granite, hand-cut a non-standard shape, and engrave artwork that does not come from a template library. The same crew that draws the design cuts the stone and sets it at the cemetery, so the drawing on paper matches what arrives at the cemetery.
