Memorials are for the living.
They provide a permanent place for those left behind to connect emotionally and spiritually with their loss. They provide an opportunity to honor and pay tribute to a person and make a statement about the impact the person has had on his or her family, community or even the world. The selection of a personalized, permanent memorial allows those who have lost a loved one express their feelings in an intimate and loving way. Memorialists can permanently record some of the most intricate and personal detail imaginable through modern techniques such as diamond etching, technolase, which uses the sandblasting technique to create an intricate and highly detailed carving of scenery or personal portraits and photoportraiture, which permits actual photographs of loved ones to be reproduced in the granite. Granite is a popular choice for any stone memorial because of its beauty, durability, strength and carving characteristics.
