Memorials are of different types, size, and color. The memorial can be a grave marker, plaque, headstone, tombstone etc. Special personalized memorials from can use a family photo to create very special handmade memorials. Traditional hand-crafted memorials can be sandblasted or hand-carved with different style lettering and designs/symbols on cuts, shapes, finishes, colors, and textures of granite to create the ideal monument. Styles/shapes include upright headstones, flat/lawn/level markers, slants, bevels and ledgers/grave covers. Photographs or bronze plaques can be added. A crypt or mausoleum can be an ideal way to preserve the memory of an individual or an entire family. Crypt designs are available in a variety of configurations and a walk-in mausoleum can be custom designed for two to eight niches. There are a plenty of new trends in the memorial industry today.
