DESIGN PROCESS

We walk you through every step — from first question to finished stone.

Designing a headstone or monument can feel overwhelming. Paul and his team make it simple — there are just five decisions, and we help you work through each one at your own pace.


FIVE SIMPLE DECISIONS

Here is how we design your stone together.

  1. Determine two names or one and pick style (upright or flat).

  2. What material — granite, bronze, or a combination.

  3. What texture — smooth or rough.

  4. Do you want to add a vase or image?

  5. Do you have a particular image design or pattern?

Once you have worked through these steps, Paul can show you design examples that match your choices. Our Monument Design Software, by Monucad Systems, has thousands of patterns to explore — so there is no shortage of ideas. If you already have a design in mind, simply bring a picture and we will work from that. Almost any design can be placed on any granite cemetery marker shape. Questions along the way? Just ask — that is what we are here for.

BEGIN YOUR DESIGN

When you are ready to begin, call Paul. There is no obligation — just a calm conversation about your loved one and what would feel right for the stone. He and his staff are here Monday through Friday, and by appointment on weekends.

Business Hours: Monday–Friday 9am–5pm / Saturday or Sunday by appointment only
