  • How are monuments engraved?

    A lot of effort is put into making and engraving memorials in Winchester, VA. Our engraving process has many steps, each performed by skilled craftsmen to ensure that each memorial is customized exactly how the family would prefer.


    Once a memorial is selected, our artist creates a layout of the design chosen. This also includes special designs in addition to computer designs. We've added many designs to the computer, which has a plotter to cut the stencil. Once the desired design on the stencil is created, it is glued to the granite so that we can sandblast the lettering and design to get the required engraving.


    We're known for our deep-cut engraving, which creates a picture on the stone. Once the process is completed, the stencil is removed and the memorial is thoroughly washed so that it can be installed in its permanent location.

  • Are custom designs available or is a customer limited only to stock designs?

  • How can the prices of similarly sized monuments vary so much?

    The price of memorial headstones in Winchester, VA varies depending on the quality and design of the memorial. The type and quality of stone used and the effort needed to create the design on the memorial are the deciding factors. The beauty of the memorial lies in the skills of the engravers. If cost is an important factor in designing the memorial, it's always better to reduce its size and design so that there's no compromise on the quality of the stone or the workmanship.

  • How safe is it to order a monument over the Internet?

    The best stones are quarried from seams of the hardest, finest crystalline granite. The fineness of grain, purity of color, hardness, and lack of any visible imperfections make them the ideal stones for memorials in Winchester, VA.
