The engraving process
Browse Lettering Styles
Together, we look at different lettering styles and decide which type works best with the stone you’ve chosen.
Digitize the Design
Our designer turns your inscription and any custom elements (images, symbols, epitaphs) into a layout for your review.
Stencil the Stone
The approved digital rendering is plotted onto a stencil which we transfer to your slab of granite.
Engrave by Hand
We use a combination of laser-etching, sandblasting, and hand-engraving—all overseen by an artisan in New Holland, PA.
Engraving Services
Yes, We Do Engraving On-Site
We’re happy to travel to your designated cemetery to do the work, where we can match the typography and engraving style on-site. It doesn’t matter if you purchased the monument from us or another company.

What Makes a Good Engraving?
A good engraving is crisp, with proper depth and strong contrast between polished and frosted areas. Details like leaves and flowers are shaped, not flat. There’s no paint to cover up poor results.
This is exactly how our in-house craftsmen have been engraving monuments for 180+ years. Call us old-fashioned, but we believe a forever tribute is worth the time and skill.
