How Designing Works
Family service counselors will work with you to design your granite memorial using our wide selection of available designs which are permanently sandblasted into the finish. Your design experience includes your choice of memorial design, granite color, and personalized endearment phrase.
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 memorial or they can be installed in addition to a memorial.
You even have the option to add personalized touches to celebrate the passions, professions, and beliefs of your loved one using a large selection of emblems, which range from religious symbols to semi trucks and knitting needles. If a black granite marker is selected, 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.)
Memorial Pricing
Memorials are priced by granite type and size and come in Individual, Companion, and Infant.
Memorial Design
The price includes any design the manufacturer offers in that size and includes:
- Template selection and design of the memorial, including the color.
- 3 lines of lettering, which are typically used to engrave your loved one’s Name, an Endearment Phrase and the dates.
- Opportunity to add personal embellishments such as an etched portrait, vases, or emblems (additional costs apply).
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.
