Memorials

Tell a Story

What many refer to as “gravestones” are more accurately called memorials – lasting tributes that honour a life lived. Whether crafted from granite or bronze, memorials serve as both a physical landmark for loved ones and a meaningful expression of remembrance.

Types of Memorials

We offer a wide range of memorial options to suit every preference and tradition.

Upright Monuments

Timeless granite structures that stand tall in tribute. No two lives are the same, and the same holds true for monuments. Our team will work closely with you to design a personalized memorial that reflects your loved one’s story, cultural or religious traditions, and preferred fonts, textures and colours. Options include portraits, etchings, emblems, bronze attachments, vases and candle holders.

Flat Markers

Elegant markers that lie flush with the ground, offering a subtle yet meaningful tribute. Creating a marker is much more than etching a name in bronze or stone – it’s about capturing a legacy. Our team will help you design a personalized memorial that reflects your loved one’s personality, with flexible payment options to support your needs.

Personal Touches

Every memorial can be customized to reflect the personality and legacy of your loved one. From meaningful inscriptions and photoceramic portraits to custom textures or colours, each element helps tell a unique story. Our team is here to guide you through the design process with care and flexibility, ensuring the final tribute is as special as the life it honours.

Photos & Frames

Nothing is more personal than a photograph. Add a photoceramic portrait in black and white or colour, framed in bronze or stainless steel. These lasting images can be installed directly onto a monument, crypt or niche, or even taken home in a display frame. Available in a variety of sizes and finishes, they offer a beautiful way to keep a loved one’s memory close.

Vases & Lanterns

Elegant accessories for flowers or candlelight, available in various styles and materials including bronze, stainless steel and aluminum. Vases can be installed directly on a monument or marker, or in-ground with a special container that allows them to be turned down when not in use. Lanterns provide a soft, reflective glow, perfect for moments of remembrance. If you choose a bronze marker, a vase can also be seamlessly integrated into the design. We offer a wide selection to complement any memorial style.

Temporary Memorials

Bronze markers are available to serve as a respectful placeholder during the period before a permanent memorial is installed. These temporary markers display the name of the deceased and are provided for the burial and up to eight weeks following. The cost is $100, which can be credited toward the purchase of a permanent memorial if ordered within that timeframe.

Quality You Can Trust

We stand behind the craftsmanship of every memorial. Our guarantee ensures that any granite or bronze memorial that cracks, discolours beyond the natural aging process or proves defective due to material or workmanship will be replaced at no cost.

Design Your Tribute

Creating a memorial is about more than marking a place – it’s about telling a story. Our team will help you design a tribute that reflects your loved one’s spirit, with flexible payment options and expert guidance on fonts, textures, colours and custom features.
