How to customize a memorial or monument for notable hobbies

The people passing through our lives also affect our passion for hobbies or interests. Maybe a sister is famous for her adventure and commitment to work, while an older brother might enjoy cooking. This interest is unique to us – and can remain in our memories even after someone has passed. Using quotes, symbols, and shapes, you can design a personalized memorial or monument that reflects a loved one’s hobbies or interests.

Start with the basics

Before you think about the customization of a memorial, you should start by answering a few simple questions that will make the customization process more manageable.

• Who is the memorial or monument for?
• Where will you place the memorial?
• Will there be a traditional burial or a cremation?
• What is your budget?

Once you answer these questions, you can consider the many customization options possible to commemorate your loved ones to the fullest.

Customizing a monument or memorial

From the statue of liberty to the Lincoln memorial, monuments and memorials allow us to connect with powerful stories that are carefully crafted into iconic works of art. So let’s discover how we can create something inspiring and remarkable!

Personal Photos

With the power of etching technology, we can take your most cherished memories and bring them to life on custom headstones, monuments, or mausoleums.
