Techniques

Shape Carving

Shape carving gives your monument a striking three-dimensional effect. This technique involves sandblasting an outline and then carefully carving the interior, commonly used for designs such as leaves, roses, floral patterns, and religious symbols.

Sandblast or Flat Carving

One of the most commonly used techniques, sandblasting uses pressurized air and abrasive material to engrave designs through a stencil. This method is ideal for custom artwork including flowers, symbols, lettering, and dates.

Sculptures & Statues

Statues and sculptural elements can beautifully enhance any monument or memorial. These carved or cast figures—often made of granite, bronze, or marble—are affixed to the monument to represent meaningful symbols, such as saints, crosses, or flowers. As a Rock of Ages® dealer, we offer finely handcrafted statues and sculptures to elevate your memorial design.

Etching (Hand & Laser)

Etching allows for detailed imagery to be permanently added to granite surfaces. We offer both hand and laser etching, which are ideal for realistic portraits, landscapes, or cherished scenes—creating a lasting tribute that captures the essence of your loved one.

Fonts and Lettering Styles

We offer a wide range of lettering options to personalize your memorial. Our expert engravers can match any font or lettering style to ensure the inscription reflects the tone and character you envision.
