Your family’s memorial stones serve as enduring tributes but also endure exposure to various environmental elements. This prolonged exposure to the sun can cause deposits to bake into the stone surface, making the cleaning challenging. Additionally, unpolished, or rough surfaces are more susceptible to biological growth, which can lead to thick layers of lichen and mosses over time. These growths diminish the appearance of your memorial stone.
Granite is a durable natural stone, but it requires specific care techniques to avoid damage. As professional cleaners, we use gentle methods that remove dirt, biological growth, and crusted debris without harming the stone's surface or carved details. We want to preserve your family’s history and its investment, so we only use gentle cleaning methods and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools.
Call us today and let us take a look at your memorial. Preserving a memory is priceless.

October marks the beginning of a vibrant fall season characterized by mild weather, the aroma of pumpkin spices, and the appearance of Halloween decorations in neighborhoods.
In Wisconsin, October and November are critical months for our industry, particularly in the placement of memorial stones. Our team is working diligently to set as many foundations as weather conditions permit. If the weather remains favorable, we plan to continue setting memorial stones into December, with the intention of completing these installations in the spring. Although spring officially begins in May, we dedicate the winter months to crafting memorial stones that have been pre-purchased. We encourage clients to consider placing pre-need memorial orders promptly to ensure timely production and installation, avoiding delays caused by seasonal weather constraints.
See your memorial consultant today and let’s see what we can craft for your needs.

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.

Aren't all monuments the same? We have an answer!

Compare, compare, compare! We can't stress this factor enough. Keep in mind that the same size and color of a headstone DOES NOT mean the same quality. Like diamonds that come from the Earth, there are many different grades of granite.
