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 47 reviewsThe grave marker exceeded expectations. Very high quality No regrets ordering online. Was delivered within the week. Highly recommend!
My order was produced and delivered sooner than anticipated and is beautiful! My dad is very pleased with the product that now displays my mom’s name for all to remember.
Pleased with the headstone we bought for our friend.
The granite is good quality. The headstone is beautiful and just as is shown. We are very pleased with the product.
I appreciated the quick service and delivery of my dads grave marker that was installed today.
From the time I ordered the stone until the time it arrived on my doorstep was extremely fast. I was expecting a couple of weeks, and it only took 5 days with a weekend in there. The customer service and people were wonderful to talk with and getting everything sorted from payment to shipping. I will without a doubt use them again, just hopefully not too soon.
Ordering was easy, the price was excellent, great selection of graphics and fonts. Free shipping was a bonus, with fast delivery. Staff was very friendly and professional. We will recommend this company to others.
I was very happy with how my mom’s grave marker turned out. Amazing service as it was delivered to my home in Leduc. I would highly recommend this company!
Thank you to Praire Flat Memorials and Edmonton Granite, of our Mother’s memorial stone! Their prompt service and excellent installation is greatly appreciated!!
Great job on the plaque
The whole process from beginning to end was super easy. We received our stone 2 days after ordering! We highly recommend Prairie Flat Memorials!
When my brother recently passed away, we held an informal Memorial / Cremation Burial Service in a small out of province town, so wanted to have the headstone there at the same time for full closure, as no one would likely have need to return there in the future.
I live in in Calgary but could not find a company that could have the Headstone completed in the short time required, so I tried Prairie Flat Memorials in Edmonton. The owner Paul assured me he could have it ready to take with us and started working on it as soon as I provided the information.
It was ready three days earlier than promised and looks great. The quality of workmanship is exceptional, and their price was competitive. One of their employees even delivered it to my sister’s acreage near Sherwood Park, so she could bring it with her.
It was a pleasure communicating with Paul by email and phone. He was very professional and accommodating throughout. I highly recommend Prairie Flat Memorials and will certainly call on them again when the need arises. I had read the reviews prior to committing my business with them, and now having experienced their superior service I understand why they were all so positive. The world needs more quality, service-oriented businesses like this!
Thank you for a seamless transaction
The headline says it all. This is the second time within a year I have used this company. I was thrilled will both stones that were made for me. Delivery was awesome. Follow up equally so
