Custom Monuments
Fully custom granite memorials designed to reflect individuality, personal legacy, and artistic vision. These monuments allow for unique shapes, engraving styles, imagery, and finishes.
Upright Monuments
Traditional upright granite monuments available in a wide range of granite colors, sizes, and engraving styles. Upright headstones offer strong visual presence and flexibility for detailed personalization and family memorials.
Flat Markers
Flat granite monument markers sit level with the ground. These markers can be personalized with inscriptions, symbols, and artwork while maintaining a clean, timeless appearance.
Traditium Series
Traditium units offer a new modern way to hold urns above ground similar to a columbarium.
Slant Monuments
Slant monuments feature an angled face, offering increased visibility while maintaining a lower profile than upright monuments. This style provides a balanced option between traditional upright headstones and flat grave markers.
Hand Sculpted Monuments
Hand-sculpted memorials allow for intricate, artistic detail carved directly into granite. This option elevates custom memorial design, creating a truly one-of-a-kind tribute.
Hmong Monuments
We work closely with Hmong families to create monuments that respectfully reflect cultural traditions, honor ancestors, and preserve family legacy for generations to come.
Memorial Benches
Memorial benches combine remembrance with function, offering a place for reflection within cemetery grounds. These granite benches can be customized with names, dates, inscriptions, and designs that honor a lasting legacy.
Temporary Markers
Temporary granite markers provide a respectful way to mark a grave site while a permanent monument is being designed and produced.
Reflection Stones
Reflection Stones offer a meaningful alternative to traditional memorials, designed for gardens, homes, weddings, and remembrance spaces. These engraved granite pieces also serve as thoughtful memorial gifts or keepsakes.
Bronze Monuments
Bronze markers offer a classic, durable memorial option, often paired with a granite base. Used for veteran memorials and traditional cemetery settings.
