Attention to detail is essential at every stage, from spacing and alignment to the final finish of the engraving. This ensures the headstone maintains its appearance and readability for years to come.
The first step in our headstone engraving process is to pick a style of stone or tablet. We have a wide variety of stones to choose from, with many of them being unique to the Edmonton area thanks to our ability to work directly with suppliers from across the world. Please take some time to view our catalogue to see the different types of stones we offer.
We specialize in headstone engraving for existing memorials, helping families update or complete inscriptions while preserving the original design. Whether you are adding a final date, including an additional name, or completing a companion headstone, each engraving is carefully planned to match the existing lettering and layout.
Our approach ensures that every addition feels like a natural extension of the original memorial, maintaining both visual consistency and long-term clarity.
When required, engraving can also be completed directly at the cemetery through our on-site headstone engraving service.
Matching an existing headstone engraving requires a detailed understanding of lettering styles, spacing, alignment, and depth. Our engravers work carefully to replicate the original design so that new inscriptions blend seamlessly with the existing memorial.
Each engraving is reviewed before completion to ensure accuracy, clarity, and consistency. If an inscription does not meet our standard, it is corrected to ensure a clean, uniform, and professional result.
We begin by assessing the current headstone, including its lettering style, spacing, and available space for the new inscription. This allows us to plan the update with precision.
We understand that updates to a headstone often take place during an emotional and time-sensitive period. When possible, we make every effort to complete engravings within a shorter timeframe while maintaining the same level of care and craftsmanship.
