Fall is officially here according to the calendar, but Mother Nature is teasing us with an unusually warm weekend which we all appreciate. Each weekday our team continues to install monuments for families, recognizing for some that this is part of a mourning process while for this is a way to prepare for the future.
We are pleased to share a selection of recently installed monuments, displaying the exceptional craftsmanship involved. Our commitment to quality is evident in every piece we create. From initial consultations with families to the precise placement of monuments in the cemetery, we ensure that each step is handled with care and professionalism. Our approach is rooted in treating clients with the respect and compassion we would wish to receive ourselves, reflecting our core values of integrity and dedication.

Our sister store, Rhinelander Memorials recently placed this stunning memorial in Forest Home Cemetery in Rhinelander honoring the late Norman John Grasser who was missing for 43 years. Norman’s brother designed this one-of-a-kind monument, and we are honored we could help bring his vision to life.
If you would like to learn more about Norman and his life story, please see the following link on YouTube which shows how the DNA match was accomplished.

Often there is a life occurrence which starts us thinking about a monument purchase. It can be a health change, a death of a friend or family member, or when you are working with an estate planner. No matter the instigation, “the talk” comes up and it is an important one to have as we all know life can have a lot of twists and turns and those are better managed if we have a plan in place.
In recent years, cremation has gained more popularity for several reasons as has holding a celebration of life instead of a funeral. This is where that talk becomes beneficial because you can discuss what you wish to have done with your cremains and there are choices. Here are just monuments in which the cremains holder (urn) can be placed inside, sealed, and go on to serve as a visiting place for family and friends.

We will be closed on Monday, September 1 in honor of Labor Day.
Labor Day's purpose is to honor the social and economic achievements of American workers. Remember, there is no such thing as unskilled labor. All jobs take skill, and all workers deserve respect.
We have a wonderful team who cares and strives every day to make monument purchasing and design as easy as it can be. They take the extra time and effort to ensure the memorial a family receives is all they expected and take pride in everything they do.

Know Before You Go
We are a small Wisconsin business providing uncompromised quality granite memorials. Quality of granite, workmanship and customer service should be your deciding factor when making a memorial purchase. We know you trust us with one of the most precious purchases you are ever going to make.
Researching granite quality and lettering methods is a beneficial idea, just like you would with any major purchase, especially since this one will last for generations to come. Granite can come from many companies and lettering methods vary as well; making the wrong choice will result in a disappointing result and we strive to never disappoint a family. We know how much it means to a family to see the completed memorial.

When creating a memorial stone, it is essential to consider that it will serve as a lasting tribute, viewed by family, friends, and visitors for many years to come. The design should thoughtfully reflect the individual's life, personality, and the love shared with others. While exploring the memorials of others can provide inspiration, the inscription, symbolic imagery, photographs, or etchings should be personalized to honor the specific person or persons the monument commemorates. This personalization ensures that the memorial remains meaningful and authentic. Our company specializes in delivering high-quality craftsmanship to bring your vision to life. We utilize durable materials such as granite, which is well-suited for outdoor memorials. Granite's resilience makes it capable of withstanding harsh Wisconsin winters and temperature fluctuations, ensuring the longevity and preservation of your memorial stone. Our goal is to create a lasting tribute that honors loved ones with dignity and respect, combining aesthetic appeal with durability to withstand the test of time.

I WANT TO GET A QUOTE
On any given day we will receive a call or two from someone with this starting dialog; we even have website contact so you can email us a request. Unfortunately, this is not something that is a black and white answer anymore than if you called a car dealership or appliance dealer and asked them to give you a quote on a car is or a washer and dryer combination.
Our memorial consultants are trained to ask the important questions to help you make the decisions you need to make. Sometimes these are tough questions, but you will find their sensitivity to your feelings is of the utmost importance; if you need to make more than one visit, we totally understand. Come in and let’s talk about what you really want in a memorial stone.

Many couples choose to have shared memorial stones and are inspired by another stone in the cemetery or their own imaginations. This is why we work closely with a family to capture as much personality in the memorial as possible. Here are some recent examples we wanted to share.

You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know
Purchasing a memorial stone is a significant investment. A knowledgeable monument consultant realizes this and is trained to guide you away from potential errors that you may later regret. Your emphasis should be placed on quality, including the grade of granite, craftsmanship and quality of the customer service provided.
Consider a scenario where a tree has fallen in your yard due to a storm, requiring removal and disposal. When obtaining quotes, it is essential to ask comprehensive questions, especially if you are unfamiliar with the process. A lower price may not include all necessary services, such as debris removal, which could result in additional costs and effort on your part. The key lesson is to inquire thoroughly, as higher-priced services often reflect a more complete and quality-oriented approach, ensuring the desired outcome is achieved efficiently and effectively.
Here are just a few examples of recently set stones we have been privileged to design for families.
