The Art of Remembering

Why do we choose to remember? Because remembering is beautiful and ennobling.

Sometimes the best way to heal is to remember.

Cremation Memorials

Remembering and recording the lives of loved ones that were cremated is as important as remembering and recording the life of a person that received a traditional burial.

Few people influence our lives like our fathers. “Fathers,” tells the story of a family that chooses a very unlikely, but fitting, memorial to remember the life of their Father and Grandfather.

Honoring our Veterans

Even a very small recognition can mean the world to the men and women of our armed forces. Watch as 1,500 people participate in the unveiling of a memorial dedicated to the veterans of a small community.

Mothers

From our first moments on earth, our Mothers begin shaping our lives. When they pass on, why wouldn’t we choose to memorialize their lives in a place where our children and grandchildren can see our gratitude for their service?

Remembering the Home

Who’s Your Hero?

Lots of time and money is spent remembering the lives of prominent public figures. Ironically, those who have the biggest impact in our lives are often forgotten in just a generation or two. Here are people telling us about their heroes.

Grandpas

Memorialization is about capturing stories… funny, sad, or unique. In this video, we talk to a group of kids about some things that they’ll remember about their Grandpas. Their comments might help you think of memorialization from a different perspective.

A scene on a monument can come to life in the thoughts and memories of loved ones. Here we see how anything can trigger a memory, including an afternoon spent on the mountainside with your mom.

Grandpa’s Horses

Monument builders tell stories in stone. Stories are just vivid memories that can transport you in time to your youth. This film shows the fond memories of a young boy’s grandpa and their trail rides in the summer.

Stone Polishing

Stone is polished by hours of work by a skilled craftsman. There is no “coating” that is applied. The beautiful, nearly permanent shine on memorials is created by a series of diamond-impregnated pads, water, and a skilled craftsman. If the polishing process is done incorrectly, the stone can overheat causing the stone surface to prematurely crumble.

The Role of a Grave Marker in Genealogy

A grave marker is one of the only pieces of artwork that an average family will ever buy. These hand-made tributes to the life of a loved one serve many important purposes for a grieving family, but they are also an important permanent record that will tell an individual’s story to the generations that follow.

What is a Pre-Made Memorial?

If you were given only a few square feet on which to tell your whole life story, what would you say? What events, and memories would you include? What would you want your great, great, grandchildren to know about you? Pre-need memorials give you the chance to make important decisions about the story of your life.

When it’s Permanent, Get a Professional

There are times when the cost is not the most important factor in a decision. When you only get one chance to get it right, a professional can make all the difference.
