Q. What technique lasts the longest on headstones?

Answer: 

Time tested and traditional techniques will ensure that the headstone remains beautiful and readable for generations. For stones with a lighter color, the polish needs to be removed where the lettering and design will be on the stone. This will be followed by blasting the design and lettering deep enough to be visible without paint and not affect the integrity of the smaller detail in the design. For stones with dark colors, blasting both deep and shallow are effective techniques.
