Frequently Asked Questions

What is sandblasting and why is it used on monuments?
Sandblasting uses pressurized abrasive material to cut designs, letters, and artwork into stone surfaces. It produces clean, deep lines that hold up well in outdoor conditions and is the standard method for most modern granite monument engraving.
Can you restore an old headstone that has faded or become hard to read?
Yes, re-lettering and cleaning older stones is a common service. Depending on the stone's condition, sandblasting can recut worn lettering and a proper cleaning can remove moss, staining, and biological growth.
Do you work with rural cemeteries in LaSalle County?
Yes, rural and township cemeteries throughout the region are a regular part of the work. Many smaller cemeteries don't have an on-site superintendent, so it helps to work with a local provider who's familiar with how those installations are coordinated.
How do I choose the right monument size for the cemetery plot?
Cemetery regulations typically specify maximum dimensions for monuments in each section, so that's the first thing to check. Your monument provider can help you request the cemetery's specification sheet and recommend sizes that fit within those rules.
Can you add a symbol or emblem to the monument, like a military insignia?
Yes, sandblasting can reproduce emblems, religious symbols, military insignia, and custom artwork with good detail. You'd provide the image or choose from standard options, and the design gets incorporated into the overall layout.
What maintenance does a granite monument need over time?
Granite is low-maintenance, but periodic cleaning with water and a soft brush keeps it looking its best. Avoid harsh chemicals, and if a stone starts to lean or sink, a stonemason should re-level it before it tips or cracks.
