When honoring the memory of a loved one who has been cremated, cremation memorial stones provide a beautiful and permanent way to celebrate their life. At Delphos Granite Works, we understand the importance of creating meaningful tributes that offer comfort and remembrance for generations to come. With over four generations of experience in crafting finely detailed granite memorials, our family-owned company has been helping families create lasting tributes since 1880.
Understanding Cremation Memorial Options
Cremation memorial stones serve multiple purposes, from marking burial sites to creating peaceful spaces for reflection in gardens or homes. These memorials can be designed as upright monuments, flat markers, or elegant bench-style tributes that provide both beauty and function. The versatility of granite allows for countless customization options to reflect the unique personality and interests of your loved one.
Types of Cremation Memorials Available
Upright Cremation Monuments: These traditional-style memorials stand prominently and can accommodate detailed artwork, photographs, and personalized inscriptions. They're perfect for cemetery settings and provide ample space for meaningful epitaphs.
Flat Markers and Bevels: More economical options that lie flush with the ground, these cremation memorial stones offer the same high-quality craftsmanship while fitting cemetery regulations that require flat installations.
Granite Bench Memorials: Combining function with remembrance, these unique tributes offer visitors a place to sit and reflect while honoring your loved one's memory.
Personalization and Artwork Options
At Delphos Granite Works, we offer three distinct artwork techniques to personalize your memorial:
Deep Cut Method: Our most popular technique, suitable for any granite color, creates lasting impressions through precision sandblasting.
Laser Etching: Perfect for detailed photographs or intricate artwork on black granite, this method captures fine details with remarkable clarity.
Diamond Etching: The only method that allows for color application, where skilled artists hand-engrave designs directly onto the granite surface.
Choosing the Right Granite Color and Finish
With our extensive selection of granite colors, from classic black to warm reds and elegant grays, you can select the perfect stone to reflect your loved one's personality.
Professional Design and Installation Services
Our experienced craftsmen handle every aspect of your memorial creation in our state-of-the-art Delphos facility.
