Frequently Asked Questions

What is sandblasting and why is it used for memorials?
Sandblasting uses pressurized abrasive material to carve designs, lettering, and images directly into stone. It creates a deep, durable finish that holds up well over time and allows for very detailed artwork that hand-carving alone can't always achieve.
Can Creative Hands Memorials add new engraving to an existing headstone?
Yes, adding dates, names, or artwork to an existing monument is a common service for providers specializing in engraving. The stone may need to be transported to the shop depending on the scope of work, or some simpler additions can be done on-site.
Do you make bronze memorial plaques in Memphis?
Engraving-focused memorial shops like this one typically offer bronze plaque work for both cemetery use and indoor memorial installations. Bronze markers are popular for flat lawn-level cemetery plots and for memorials placed inside churches or community buildings.
How do I choose between a flat marker and an upright headstone?
The cemetery itself often has rules about which style is allowed in specific sections, so that's the first thing to confirm. Beyond that, upright monuments tend to be more visible and offer more surface area for artwork and inscriptions, while flat markers have a simpler, uniform appearance.
Can you engrave religious or cultural symbols on a monument?
Yes, religious symbols, cultural icons, and personal imagery are all common requests and can be sandblasted or engraved with high accuracy. Bringing reference images to your consultation helps the team produce artwork that matches your vision.
How far in advance should I order a memorial in the Memphis area?
Giving yourself 6 to 10 weeks is generally a safe window, especially for pieces with detailed custom artwork. Engraving-heavy projects take longer than standard lettering, and scheduling cemetery installation adds additional coordination time.
