At Gingrich Memorials we have our own full-time graphic artist who can assist with the design process of the memorial. Personal photographs, emblems, patches, awards, vehicles, buildings, pets, poems, epitaphs etc. - The possibilities are almost limitless as to what can be etched onto black granite. Images that can be scanned at a high resolution are created with our state-of-the-art laser etching machine. What can't be etched by the machine is hand etched by our gifted graphic artist. This process can take from several hours to several weeks, based on the complexity of the design. Below are just a few examples of some custom hand etchings we’ve created in the past.
