If you're looking for a unique keepsake, a way to preserve memories, or design a personal memorial, consider etched images on granite or marble. This is a truly beautiful and lasting method for creating a keepsake. Your selected photo is laser-etched with precision resulting in a highly detailed graphic. To see examples, please scroll to the
bottom of the page to view our Gallery.
We offer three top quality materials for
your personalized memorial: black granite, black granite pavers, and black marble.
1. GRANITE - OUTDOOR AND INDOOR USE:
Black granite is a premium polished granite that is light black in color and is
1/4" thick. The edges of the tile can be beveled or non-beveled (except for the 18 x 24 size).
Black granite will withstand extreme climates and does not "wear down".
2. PAVERS - OUTDOOR USE:
If the memorial will be walked on, the 2" thick black granite Paver should be used.
Pavers have straight edges (no beveled edge). If the memorial is not going
to be walked on, the 1/4" thick granite will work just fine. It is very
durable and won't crack. Black granite will withstand extreme climates and does not
"wear down".
3. MARBLE - INDOOR USE ONLY:
Marble memorials can be used indoors only. Our indoor memorials are etched into
premium black marble and have straight edges.
DISPLAY OPTIONS:
1. Place the granite flat in the ground in a shallow indentation (can be set
in cement if needed). Some customers display their memorial at an angle by
making a landscape berm (mound of earth with flowers, ground cover, etc.)
2. Hang the granite or marble with a strong metal hook. We will attach the
hook(s). The 18x24 should be ordered with two hooks. One hook is sufficient for
the other sizes. Pavers cannot be hung.
3. Display on an easel
4. Mount it in a memorial rock or boulder. (See
Memorial Rock with Etched Photo.)
5. Flat-mount using industrial epoxy.
(We also have framed marble plaques that can be used
indoors. Please see our Memorial
Plaque in Marble on Wood 10.5 x 13 and our Memorial
Plaque in Marble on Wood 7 x 9 and
Full Color Plaques.)
PHOTO & TEXT:
Email the text and photo to info@ourcornermarket.com. On the email's subject
line, enter your order number. (Example: "Order 1234 - Photo & Text Attached".
Photo:
Select a photo that has a sharp focus. The photo should be 200 dpi minimum. (If
you need help on that, just give us a call.) There is an extra charge for
multiple photos on one memorial.
Text: The total amount of text, including spaces, should not exceed 200
characters. The smaller the plaque, the smaller the lettering.
For text that is longer than 200 characters, there will be an extra charge.
See below to view examples of memorials. If you like, you
can indicate a style that you like best, but we'd like to use our artistic
skills to custom design it for you. Upon completion, we may add your memorial
draft to our gallery. Please let us know if you prefer not to have the memorial
added. Care instructions are included with your memorial. See bottom of page for more
information.
