Lettering & Engraving Services | Shevchenko Monuments

Workshop Services for New Memorials

In our Perth Amboy workshop, we carefully create each memorial to match your vision. We handle each memorial with care and respect, from the first sketch to the last polish.

Lettering and Design Options

We can tailor every detail to your loved one’s life. This customization includes full names, dates, verses, and epitaphs. We also add religious icons, family crests, cultural motifs, hand-drawn illustrations, or custom artwork.

Choosing the right font sets the tone for your tribute. We offer serif fonts like Roman and Times, as well as script and calligraphy styles, clean sans-serif fonts, and custom or heritage lettering.

Our craftsmen select the most suitable method for your design. They use sandblasting for deep, sharp inscriptions, laser etching for portraits and fine details, or hand carving for a classic look and feel.

Layout and Finishing

Proper scale makes text easy to read and gives it a balanced appearance. We carefully place text and images, choose letter sizes that are visible from a distance, and verify cemetery rules before installation.

The right finish makes inscriptions stand out. We offer high-gloss polish or soft-honed surfaces. Lettering can be painted, frosted, or covered in gold leaf for contrast. We also use texturing to improve readability.

Your peace of mind is our priority. We provide digital mock-ups you can view on any device. You have clear opportunities to request changes. We begin production only after you have given final approval.

Pricing and Planning

Transparent costs let you plan with confidence. We give detailed quotes for engraving, design, and fabrication. We also offer bundled packages that include installation and permits. Creating a meaningful tribute should not add to the financial burdens during a difficult time.

Onsite Cemetery Services for Existing Gravemarkers

Families often need to add names and birth and death dates of loved ones to existing monuments. Our team visits the cemetery to add the new information. This service helps keep memories together in one place on a single memorial.

Material-Specific Techniques

We use methods made for granite, marble, or bronze to protect your marker. We also match colors and blend finishes to keep a uniform look.

We update your memorial with care. We add names, dates, and epitaphs in the original style. We also re-letter or refresh faded inscriptions and fix small chips or surface wear.

Consistency is key when we update a stone. We align new text with the old, maintain even spacing for a balanced look, and adhere to cemetery rules for placement.

Process and Scheduling

We keep you involved, even onsite. We provide mock-ups that you can view immediately. We consult with you to match font, size, and finish. We also work closely with cemetery staff to ensure a seamless scheduling process.

We fit appointments to your schedule and the seasons. We typically complete engraving within a few days after approval. We plan our operations around the weather to maintain high quality.
