Onsite Engraving Service
In many families, after the second companion passes on, a new name and date needs to be added to a headstone originally intended for two people. Or a date needs to be completed on a headstone for one individual. In other cases, the family needs to incorporate a third name onto a monument that was originally intended for just two.
Sometimes the family may want to add an additional embellishment or design element to an existing memorial design.
The Process
Our mobile engraving and lettering team first visits the site to assess the state of the existing stone to ensure it is not first in need of repair or restoration.
Next, our artisans carefully take wax rubbings of the existing heritage font in the field. We then decide which methods will match the letters most exactly; traditional hand drawing or AutoCAD drafting computer technology. Each memorial is carefully scrutinized to ensure that we have masterfully matched the font.
