For an exact match, letters can be hand-drawn at an additional charge. Modified Roman and Condensed Roman fonts are some of the more popular lettering styles used on cemetery stones. Apart from stylized fonts, it is also possible to highlight the letters with lithochrome or gold dust (yes, real gold). Letters with gold in them are called "Gold Leaf" letters, and these cost substantially more than normal, sandblast-sunk letters.

Etchings can be done by laser or by hand, depending on the image and stone quality. Unlike a laser etching which is performed by a machine, a hand etching is done personally by hand by an artist, directly onto the stone. As such, its resemblance to a photo image or a sketched scene will only be as good as the artist's impression of the image. Regardless of whether it's done by laser or hand, these etchings will not fade and will last forever.

With a large inventory and a full time shop, Fox-Becker Granite isn't so dependent on the large manufacturers. One deciding factor is the completion of the concrete foundation in the cemetery. Cemetery work schedules, weather and ground conditions determine when a foundation can be constructed. Like other major purchases, the purchase of a memorial should be a family decision. At Fox-Becker Granite, we sincerely want you to make an informed decision.
