Folks, I’m pretty proud of our stone team. A few weeks ago a man who’s been in funeral services business for a long time told me “he didn’t know what we were using to seal our stones, but don’t change it.”

So the guys were doing a reset with a new stone on one we did a few months ago. They couldn’t break the die from the base. The video says it all. Now I know what my friend was saying.

Custom stones don’t come off a lot and here in a few weeks. Our standard granite grays that don’t require the artists to hand color them are usually back in two to three months.

All of our stones have a perpetual plus guarantee. For its life, guaranteed not to fade or crack. Or you get it replaced and half of your money back.

From the basic drawing and idea to the setting, our team handles it all. Small business, local folks, and a lot of pride in their work!

Shop around, get your price, then come see us to work you up a quote. Just like funerals, we promise the best value and quality with our “Tradition of Caring.”

Did I mention, we can include your stone in your funeral pre-plan too! We don’t have a middle man and know the prices up front. That way there is absolutely nothing left unplanned or an unknown expense for your family after your passing.

Call 304-438-6141 to set up an appointment in Alderson or Rainelle to work on your stone or funeral pre-plan.

Travis Copenhaver,
Owner and LIC
