Traditional Engraved Headstone

Traditional Engraved Headstones

We take pride in offering a wide range of funerary products for clients who want to use a traditional material for their loved one’s memorial, including traditional inscription granite or sandstone headstones.

Are you looking for something, uniquely shaped yet small in stature? Perhaps you would prefer a 1200 x 1200 monument to mark your loved one’s final resting place. We offer a variety of sizes and shapes and utilize sandblasting to inscribe polished sandstone or granite.

Do you want a unique color to memorialize you’re equally unique loved one? We offer stones in a variety of colours and can offer coloured art motifs and fonts for the inscription. There are nine different colour options for inscription or art. You can rest easy knowing these headstones will maintain their appearance for many years as sandstone or granite do not oxidize or deteriorate quickly.

Memorial Bases

You have the option to purchase a memorial with or without a base, however, if you prefer one, you will have the choice between, granite, stainless steel, or sandstone bases. These headstones also have optional flower holders or flower potholes.

Headstone Design

Have you considered the design yet? While many people may prefer to stick with a basic design, it is nice to know you have other options. Of course, if you want to personalize the design, you do have that option. Personalize the design and or layout to represent how you and the rest of the family feel about your lost loved one by using the design section of the website. It has never been simpler to choose your potential memorial, go to the webpage, select a headstone and then create your own special monument complete with the perfect size, shape, and inscription.

On the website you can access our motif library, simply browse until you find the design that speaks to you. Next, consider your inscription, would you like it to convey more than just the name and numbers? What colour inscription or artwork would look best? Of course, you should keep in mind these often incur additional costs. It is also important you know you are allowed one more “dressing” which can be kiln-fired overlays, lifetime images, raised glass-backed motifs, or ceramic photos. Note: There must be room on the monument for the added materials. If you determine you would like to add a photo or image, you will need to upload it to the website. Should you decide on a glass-backed motif, remember to select the appropriate colour from the web page. Again, these are extra services and can run into added costs.

Final Thoughts

This is a very trying time in life and it is never easy to make these plans for your loved one. However, it does help to know you will have a lovely monument to mark the cemetery plot and stand as a testament to who they were in life. As you go through the selection process, remember you can stop and check the cost along the way. This is helpful if you are working with a strict budget or simply want to weigh the design options based on overall costs. You will also be able to save your design ideas and come back to them later if need be. Create, save and share your memorial with other family members or friends to keep them apprised of the situation and perhaps offer suggestions on making it better.
