Monument Customization

Monument Customization & Design Services in NJ

Building a monument to honor a loved one is very personal and important. It is an everlasting monument that conveys a tale, not only a mark-off point. Monuments can be as distinctive as the persons they honor, given the broad range of personalizing choices now at hand. Whether the monument is contemporary or a classic gravestone, every component helps create a work that really speaks to the family and people it honors.

Choosing a Unique Monument Style

Selecting a design that captures the legacy and personality of the person marks one of the first stages in personalizing. Many families choose traditional designs since they radiate a timeless charm and seem to be a classic. Conversely, modern designs appeal to individuals who want clean lines and understated aesthetics. Specialty designs can incorporate cultural themes or thematic aspects that resonate with the life of the deceased individual, creating a more personalized memorial.

Shapes of Memorials

The forms of a monument greatly influence its visual attractiveness. Standard forms like slant markers, flat markers, or straight stones remain popular due to their simplicity and ease of installation. However, for families seeking a unique tribute, personalized shapes like hearts, crosses, or sculpted figures provide an option.

Granite Headstones, Markers & Memorials of All Kinds

Monument design revolves mostly around the choice of material. Granite is the most often used material since its variety of colors and strength make it rather appealing. Marble exudes refinement with its traditional veining and silky smoothness. Sandstone appeals softly and naturally. Selecting locally based, sustainable materials improves the authenticity of the monument in addition to helping to preserve the environment.

Pick a Finishing Accent

The finishing of a monument can significantly affect its appearance. While honed finishes give a smooth but non-reflective appearance, perfect for a subtle yet sophisticated style, polished finishes produce a reflecting, mirror-like surface that jumps out. Retaining the natural texture of the stone, rustic finishes give an organic appeal ideal for calm surroundings.

100% Custom On-Site & Hand-Crafted Monument Design

Personalization turns a monument into a heartfelt homage. From names and dates to complex designs, engraving and etching allow for minute details. While symbols and images—such as religious icons, natural sceneries, or personal emblems—add a layer of meaning, custom inscriptions provide a means of expression for sincere thoughts.

Decorative Memorial Accessories Available

Accessories can improve the general form of a monument. Not only are vases and flower holders useful, but they also provide a little warmth. For an additional personal touch if engraving is not enough, you’ll love options for ceramic image medallions.
