Our work

The part you have never been able to see.

Choosing a monument is easier when you can look at real ones first. These are stones we made for families in Queens, Brooklyn and Long Island.

Hand etched portraits

A likeness etched into polished granite by hand, stroke by stroke, from a photograph you bring us. No machine reproduces a face this way.

Bring us a sketch, a symbol, a uniform or an idea you cannot quite describe yet. We draw it, you approve it, then it is cut.

Designed with you
Traditional granite companion monument with Hebrew and English inscriptions

Traditional monuments

Single and companion stones in classic form, with the lettering, symbols and blessings your family and your cemetery expect.

Every cemetery
The craft

Thousands of designs, or the one in your head.

You can choose from thousands of existing designs or bring your own. Either way the work is done here, by the people who will hand you the drawing.

Hand etching
Portraits, scenes and lettering etched into polished granite by hand. Faces, hands, flowers and fabric hold their detail because a person is doing the work.
Carving and gold leaf
Scrollwork, columns, shaped tops and raised relief cut into the stone, finished with gold or silver leaf where you want the light to catch.
Inscriptions
Hebrew, Russian, Chinese, Greek, Armenian, English. We set the text, you read the proof before anything is cut.
Cemetery rules
Every memorial and mausoleum is manufactured to the regulations of the cemetery it is going into, so nothing gets rejected at the gate.
Repairs and additions
Added dates, cleaning and restoration on stones already standing, including ones we did not make.
Process

What actually happens, start to finish.

Most families have never done this before and no one explains it. Here is the whole thing.

STEP ONE

Come in, or send a photo

Tell us the cemetery, the names and dates, and anything you want on the stone. Bring a photograph if you would like a portrait etched. There is no charge to sit down and talk it through.

STEP TWO

We draw it, you approve it

You see the design and the exact inscription before a single cut is made. Change it as many times as you need. Nothing goes to the stone until you say yes.

STEP THREE

We handle the cemetery

We file with the cemetery and set the stone once the foundation is ready. Families are often complete in about four weeks, most of which is the cemetery preparing the foundation.
