Engraving and Inscription Work is a Process of Duplication
When engraving existing stones, we always match the style, size, depth, and spacing of the original lettering.
The format of the new inscription is also based on the existing one. For instance, if the original inscription includes the year of birth and death, we will follow the same format for consistency. This helps determine the total number of characters needed, which in turn affects pricing.
Our pricing includes a minimum charge for 20 characters, which encompasses most requests. For inscriptions exceeding 20 characters, an additional cost per character applies. We offer a special, reduced rate for engraving only the year of death.
Depending on the cemetery, a deed or application signed by the lot owner may be required, along with a fee. We will handle these cemetery requirements on your behalf, though fees can vary.
