How Designing Works
Customer Service Providers will work with you to design your monument using our wide selection of available designs, which are permanently sandblasted into the finish of your everlasting monument. Your design experience includes your choice of etched design, granite color, and personalized endearment phrase, along with the option to add a ceramic picture created from a cherished family photo.
Troost Cemeteries offers a number of floral vase designs in bronze, granite, aluminum, and zinc. Floral vases can either be part of the design of a monument permanently affixed on either side of the tablet, or they can be installed separately in-ground next to the monument.
You even have the option to add personalized touches to celebrate the passions, professions, and religious beliefs of your loved one using a large selection of emblems, which range from religious symbols to semi-trucks and knitting needles. If black granite is selected for the monument, we work with a patented process to take a photograph of your loved one and etch it directly into the stone. (Additional costs may apply.)
Please note that upright monument options vary by location. We invite you to connect with your nearest Troost Cemeteries location to explore what is available to you.
Monument Pricing
Monuments are priced by size, type of granite and the complexity of the embellishments.
Monument Design
Upright monuments come in a wide variety of standard designs, which are then customized to a family’s specifications. However, Upright Monuments can also be completely custom-made. If there is something you have in mind that you do not see on our website, we can have a design custom-made as you would like it. Many people see something on a meaningful building or statue that they would like to incorporate into an upright monument, and when asked if we can make it, our answer is almost always, “Yes, we can.”
Granite Colors
Granite is a unique natural product and while the images below are intended to match the granite as closely as possible, some variation is possible. Additional options may be available.
Memorial Personalization
Celebrate your loved one’s memory with a photo-realistic etching. You are able to use your own
photo portrait to custom design a personal and meaningful memorial that reflects your loved one’s life.
Photos are etched on granite and can be further customized with emblems to reflect the ultimate in personalization. We assist you through the entire process and monitor the design and creation of your memorial through completion.
Location
If you are out of town or out of state, we can assist you in honoring your loved one. Through email, we have assisted many families across the country in designing their personalized memorial.
Finally, because of our prices, consideration, and ease of design, we are happy to assist families in designing a memorial for their family who is buried elsewhere.
