COLORS OF GRANITE

Granite is renowned for its hardness, durability and beauty. It is natural stone, formed deep within the molten core of the earth chiefly from quartz and feldspar. For more than 5,000 years, granite has been quarried and used in construction and monuments.

There are many different colours of granite, according to the specific mix of minerals. No matter what colour a sample is, the crystalline structure of the rock means it will always has a wonderful depth, richness and texture. It is able to withstand centuries of exposure to the elements and retain its beauty.

CHOOSING A MONUMENT

In addition to choosing the colour of granite, you need to choose the shape of the headstone and an appropriate base to support it. The headstone and base are made of granite and are set on a concrete foundation which prevents them from leaning and sinking.

PERSONALIZING THE MONUMENT

Working with our monument counselors, you can choose an appropriate inscription and design for the headstone to reflect the "person in the stone." This will help all who visit the grave continue to feel a connection to the one who has passed on.

We are proud to be able to offer Rock of Ages granite to our customers, the finest monument granite available.
