ENGRAVING & QUALITY
All our markers are sandblasted by hand at our Edmonton Facility. Sandblasting is the traditional technique used to remove polish and form grooves in the granite to create text and designs. This is achieved by forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against the granite surface under high pressure. For over 60 years our partners have been sandblasting monuments with the highest quality standards in the industry. Every piece of granite is inspected before and after it is engraved and has to pass stringent quality control measures prior to being shipped to our customers.

Let customers speak for us
from 75 reviewsI recently purchased a flat memorial marker and the product exceeded my expectations. It was affordable, arrived within a few days of ordering and I'm extremely happy with how it looks. When I had some questions about shipping Paul got back to me immediately and stayed in contact until I received the flat marker. In an era of retail apathy it's refreshing to see that customer service still matters! Shop here with confidence.
I had a very good experience with this company. The memorial marker was made exactly as shown on the website. A beautiful job. The price given was the price charged, no hidden fees. Customer service was excellent, all concerns addressed immediately. Thank you for the quality product that was delivered
