Da Vinci Gravestones & Monuments has been making beautiful grave markers for eight decades, making us the best choice when you’re looking for a truly artistic memory in New Jersey. Just like our namesake, Leonardo da Vinci, who revolutionized the art world, we have revolutionized the creation of tribute art since our inception. All of our markers are works of art with a story.
With its roots in the community, it has a broad reach.
Our art has an impact on Northern and Central New Jersey, even though we are based in Morris County. We’ve changed the look of memorials all over the state by adding unique works of art to graves in every town we work in. Our store has turned into a memorial art gallery, showing families what they can do to find something truly unique.
We stand out because we value American craftsmanship. We create and carve each piece of art by hand in the United States. This lets us keep a tight grip on quality and artistic integrity throughout the whole process.
Understanding your idea is the first step in making an artistic memorial. Our design consultations are a lot like planning an art show. We sketch out ideas, talk about what’s possible, and help you picture the right tribute. Families are welcome to bring pictures, art, or anything else that might inspire the design.
Our in-house artists are experts at turning your ideas into beautiful tribute art. Our artists bring your ideas to life in stone and bronze, whether it’s a detailed portrait, a scene that had a special meaning to you, or an abstract design that captures the essence of your loved one.
We make detailed designs that will last for a long time by using both cutting-edge etching technology and old-fashioned hand-carving techniques. Portraits, scenes, and decorative elements can have a lot of detail thanks to our advanced methods.
Our image etchings show not only how people look but also who they are. We use advanced methods to make pictures that look like real people and seem to carry the warmth and spirit of your loved one. You can put these detailed images together with other decorative items to make a memorial that is truly unique.
Our stone workers are skilled at carving out small details by hand that make each monument special. These small details, like flower patterns that are barely there or complicated symbols, give every piece depth and personality.
We have many artistic finishes for stone that bring out its natural beauty. The artist selects each finish to align with their overall vision, ranging from mirror-smooth surfaces to textured backgrounds that accentuate design elements.
Among the many materials our team have available, granite and bronze have stood the test of time as the most preferred options for artistic grave markers. But how do you choose between these two? We’re going to explain a bit more to help you make your own choice.
Granite has been a preferred choice as a material to craft markers for as long as we have been around. This is due to its lasting beauty, durability and timeless appeal. Bronze has been used in crafting exquisite markers and plaques for decades. Its ability to withstand weathering and its classic appeal make it a popular choice with many of our customers.
Strength: Both granite and bronze are exceptionally durable. Granite resists physical damage and weathering, while bronze can withstand harsh conditions with minimal wear when properly maintained.
Aesthetics: Granite offers a natural, earthy look, while bronze exudes a refined, metallic finish. The choice largely depends on personal preferences and the cemetery’s aesthetic guidelines.
Maintenance: Granite may need occasional cleaning to remove moss or stains. Bronze requires polishing and protective coatings to prevent tarnish and maintain its shine.
Type is an art form in and of itself, and we offer a lot of different writing styles and methods. We make sure that text parts fit in with the rest of the artwork, whether they are traditional hand-carved letters or more modern designs.
Whether we are using old-world techniques or the latest equipment, you can rest assured Da Vinci’s grave markers are all hand-carved. There’s a very specific level of detail that’s impossible to miss once you come across it. We are proud to offer artistic markers which are truly built to be in a class of their own.
At Da Vinci Gravestones & Monuments, we believe that beautiful art should honor every life. Our dedication to creating unique, meaningful, and beautifully handmade memorials makes us New Jersey’s best choice for artistic grave markers.
