Why Choose A Granite Monument?

Granite is the most commonly used stone for creating memorial monuments. It is impervious to cold, heat, staining, and weathering so it retains its original beauty and withstands the test of time. Granite can be sculpted or carved into various shapes and is very versatile. We use the finest granite from domestic and imported suppliers. All of our monument granite is covered by our everlasting guarantee.
