Customization

Public memorials are a source of pride for every community.   Projects we can assist with include:

  • granite memorials to our nations’ veterans and first responders
  • bronze plaques for historic landmarks or special individuals
  • pedestals for existing statuary
  • engraved commemorative boulders
  • bronze and granite statues for parks and churches…and more!

Regardless of whether you have a design in mind and just need someone to produce it or need assistance from concept to creation, we can help!

Delivery

Delivery and installation times vary widely depending on the type of project.  Bronze plaques typically take about 8-10 weeks to receive from your order date  (rush service is available.)  Expect 4-7 months for delivery on larger custom projects once all the necessary fabrication and inscription information has been provided to us.

TARIFF ALERT

About one-third of customers choose an imported granite for their memorial.  Monuments sourced from China are now subject to a 20% retail price increase to cover the new tariff expense. The company is currently absorbing the tariff expense on all other imported granite but this may change if tariff rates increase.  We strongly encourage customers to order soon to avoid paying a higher price.  We will continue to offer a variety of granites that are quarried in the USA and are therefore tariff-free.
