Lettering
Cemetery Lettering For Monuments & Memorials
The Choices
Bring us any style — we'll match it.
We have no limit on lettering styles. Show us a sample — a photograph, a clipping, a name written in a loved one's own hand — and we'll match it as closely as possible from our library. When only an exact match will do, our craftsmen can hand-draw the letters at an additional charge.
Lettering Styles
Modified Roman & Condensed Roman
Modified Roman and Condensed Roman are among the most enduring lettering styles for cemetery stones — classic, legible, and dignified across generations.

MODIFIED ROMAN
Condensed Roman
CONDENSED ROMAN
Beyond the letterform itself, we can highlight the carving with lithochrome paint or real gold dust (yes, real gold) — a finishing touch that catches the light for decades.
Gold Leaf
Gold Leaf
Yes, real gold.
"Gold Leaf" lettering is exactly what it sounds like: real gold set into the carved stone. It carries a substantially higher cost than standard sandblast-sunk letters — and a presence that endures long after the stone is placed.
