No! Factors such as stone quality and carving quality are important. Granite and other stone material come out of the earth in varying quality grades. These grades are determined by the stone’s overall appearance, color, pattern consistency, mineral content, and density. At Supreme Memorials, we only use granite. Time has proven that granite is the most durable material for monuments. In addition, we use only the highest quality grades. Because we have direct buying relationships with our suppliers, we know who quarried the stone and we know its quality. Lastly, whether your monument is carved directly by the manufacturer in Vermont, or carved locally, you can rest assured that we will have only the most skilled craftsmen with many years of experience creating your monument. When you purchase your memorial from Supreme Memorials, you can do so with confidence that it is made of the finest material available in the market and crafted by the best.
