Headstone inscription lettering

Completed by a master monumental masons, our lettering techniques include:

Inlaid inscriptions

Granite headstones and memorials have 3 inlaid inscription options:

• Natural - inscription sandblasted into the granite
• Gilded or gold leaf - 23-carat gold leaf used
• Paint - enamel exterior paint

Marble headstones and memorials are ideal for lead inscriptions

Pros and cons of each inscription style

• Gold leaf and painted inscriptions last around 10 to 15 years. However, this style can last much longer if on an upright stone in a shaded area or shorter if on a horizontal stone, such as a lawn cemetery grave markers, in the direct sun.
• Leaded inscriptions can last over 100 years
• Gilded is priced a bit higher than painted but lasts around the same length of time.
• Leaded is the most costly option but it lasts significantly longer than the other styles reducing the need for restorations.

Hand-cut lettering

Our stonemasons can do hand cut letters to match existing inscriptions. This technique is used for renovation or when adding extra inscriptions to an existing headstone. A detailed template is created to match the existing inscriptions and the stone is then carefully sandblasted to form the new lettering.

Sandblasting

Sandblasting can be used for large memorials with a lot of lettering or characters or artwork on smaller pieces where the lettering and art are left polished and the background is given a rougher texture. This style works well on dark stone.
