The "Babyland" Monument with this article is one of my favorite
for it shows the versatility of talented monument builders. Constructed by one of our
producers, this memorial uses five colors of granite to create a very pleasing and
comforting memorial for families grieving the loss of a child.
The center tablet is made from Jet Black granite. The carving of two angel children is
made from Blue Pearl granite. The block with the letter "A" is made from
Vermillion Rose granite. The bear and the letter "C" are carved from two
different colors of Mahogany granite. The five colors in combination create a very
interesting and attractive memorial.
This memorial uses square and rectangular designs in an effective way to express
considerable originality. The base has a polished flat top with edges that are rounded,
and it also has a polished margin. The bottom of the base is carved in the balance rock
pitch or rustic style.
I encourage our clients to be different in their memorial designs, and not to just
purchase from a catalog. A memorial carved with such creativity would honor any family.
