Our
soldiers are our true heroes. They serve their country so gallantly, with
dedication and courage and it is extremely difficult to learn that a
soldier's life has been cut short. Our etched memorial stones have been
used by many of our customers who have lost their loved ones in the military.
Your selected photo and text is permanently laser-etched with precision into
granite.
We offer
two top quality materials for your personalized memorial: black granite and
black granite pavers
1. GRANITE - OUTDOOR USE:
Black
granite is a premium polished granite that is light black in color and is
1/4" thick. Black granite will withstand extreme climates and does not
"wear down".
2. PAVERS - OUTDOOR USE:
If people will be walking on the memorial, the 2" thick black
granite Paver should be used. A paver is similar to a brick. If the memorial is
not going to be walked on, the 1/4" thick granite will work just fine.
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.
Flat-mount using epoxy obtained at a hardware store. Pavers cannot be
flat-mounted.
3. Display
on an easel.

like, you can indicate a style that you like best, but we'd like to use our

memorial draft to our gallery. Please let us know if you prefer not to have the
memorial added.
