Along with cemetery monuments, we also design and build war memorials; public memorials; sell granite, bronze and marble statuary; do restoration and repair; and carve and letter inscriptions in cemeteries and elsewhere. Our specialty is ?telling your story in stone?, by designing one-of-a-kind creative memorials individual to each person or family. It is for this type of work that we have received many design awards, both local and nationally.
