1. Contact and preliminary consultation

Call (620) 888-5084 or send photos and monument details to begin.

2. Site review and measurement

For many jobs we can complete work off-site; for in-situ work we visit the cemetery to measure and assess.

3. Design proof

We provide a clear proof with font, layout, and placement. Two free revisions are included.

4. Engraving and finishing

Work is completed using the appropriate method for the material—sandblasting for granite, hand carving where required, and cleaning or repainting for restorations.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

  • How long does an engraving job take?

    Timelines vary. Simple lettering can be completed within a few days; custom inscriptions, complex layouts, or cemetery approvals can extend the timeline. During busy periods or when approvals are required, expect additional lead time. We’ll provide an estimated schedule at the time of the quote.

  • Can you add a name or date to an existing headstone?

    Yes. We commonly add names, dates, and small inscriptions to existing headstones, provided the stone’s condition and cemetery rules allow onsite work or additional lettering.

  • What materials do you engrave?

    We work primarily with granite, including black, gray, and colored granites, as well as marble and certain manufactured monuments.

  • Will the new lettering match the old?

    We strive for visual harmony. We match font style, size, depth, and paint color for repainted letters when requested. Exact matches are not always possible due to weathering, but our skill yields consistent, respectful results.
