Cemetery Lettering
MAY WE BE OF HELP?
One of our many services is the carving of names and dates, to match existing names and dates on existing monuments. The cost of this work, like the headstone, is an expense to be deducted from the estate. The executor or attorney will need an estimate of this cost.
We keep a crew busy in all the local cemeteries, doing this work year round, and will be glad to inspect your stonework and advise you if there is space for additional names and dates, as well as what the arrangement and cost would be.
Just contact us with your inquiry, and we will reply promptly.
