Stockton Monument

My little shop helper

David made bricks for Kern County Autism Center for the sponsors and clients that have passed away over the years. One of the bricks was for my brother who passed away a year ago April 1. Hannah knew daddy was blasting Uncle Ben's brick so she wanted to help peel the stencil off it. They look really good around the trees that we planted for those who passed away. Thanks David and keep up the AWESOME good work that you do.

"Carillo Memorial" a slideshow

This is a slideshow of how I do an etching on black granite. I would love comments and or questions!

Yosemite Park

This is a custom memorial that I made at Williams Monument Company. It is made from Sierra White granite which is local to the central California area. The family spent many vacations in the Yosemite Valley as Mr. and Mrs. Brady raised their children. They knew that they needed to show their love of such a beautiful place that represented such great family memories on the memorial.
This is one example of making a positive tribute that the family will cherish for generations.

Welcome to the Monument Shop!

Welcome to my new blog. I am a memorialist who has been in the industry for 14 years and I have a good knowledge of what it takes to create a beautiful memorial. This blog is here to share experiences and ideas from myself and other memorialists who's motivation is to create "memorial art" that will stand the test of time!

 I encourage comments and questions so that we all can learn more about honoring our loved ones with the many different options used in the world today!
