The Memorialist: Engraved Rock Are For Fun and Happy Occasions Too!


When I first started in the monument industry, before I became the Memorial Doctor, we thought of ourselves as a tombstone company. The looks we received from people when we told them what we do made us cringe. No one likes to think about death and dying, and I understand the discomfort.

Today, I’m reborn! I am the owner of a rock and stone company. Now, doesn’t that sound a lot nicer? Yes, one of our major product lines and services relates to memorialization, but we do so much more! So very much more!

We Are A Rock Company Too!

We build and engrave rock for all sorts of happy occasions that are so much more enjoyable to talk about. Rocks are used to celebrate weddings, mark a garden, they serve as house warming gifts, or just to provide words of inspiration, e.g., joy, hope, love.

Our engraved rock is very reasonably priced, and the turnaround is very fast too. If you want to memorialize your pet, then we can do that also. We provide garden accent stones, wedding stones, pet memorials, family memorials, unique gifts, and welcome stones. Anniversary stones are also available. Today, realtors are even giving housewarming gifts made from engraved rock.

Calligraphy, wildlife, southwest variety, and farm scenes are some additional options available. Farm life includes horses, rabbits, roosters, chickens, pigs, and cows. We have the Donkey for the Democrats and the Elephant for the Republicans.

Engraved pictures with sports themes from golf to planes and trains are engraved on rocks. There’s hunting and fishing scenes and fish galore; cats and dogs and the pet iguana; professional engraving from the scales of justice to a pair of dice. Express your sensitive side with hearts and heart shapes and teddy bears or lots of angels. If you have a collection of any sort, we can help add to your selection. Stone accents are nice too.

Pictures of numerous pet breeds, including ferrets, rats, and llamas are also available.

Bird varieties from storks, owls, and humming birds, to eagles, quails, and the road runner might be the perfect fit for you.

We have flora from roses, pansies, oak, and sun flowers to marijuana, mushrooms, or palm trees.

Decorate with Christian symbols, and Darwin too, symbols for musical notes, and popular words.

Popular words inspire us. Always, Aloha, Ambition, Art, Believe, Balance, Bossy, Bliss, Create, Courage, Clarity, Cool, Christ, Clean, Duh!, Dirty, Dream, Desire, Dad, Discover, Divine, Enjoy, Earth, Easy, Eden, Effort, Ego, Epic, Faith, Forever, Freedom, Fiesta, Foreplay, Give, Garden, Grow!, Gratitude, Grace, Harmony, Hope, Happy, Hugs, Imagine, Inspire, Integrity, Joy, Java, Kisses, Kindness, Love, Luck, Listen, Loyalty, Laugh, Mom, Magic, Mystic, OK, Organic, Options, Orgasmic, Peace, Patience, Prosper, Perform, Power, Please, Priority, Rejoice, Relax, Respect, Recycle, Risk, Serenity, Spirit, Soar, Shine, Success, Smile, Think, Trust, Thanks, Thrive, Unity, Union, Vision, Whatever, Welcome, Wonder, Wish, Wise, Yes, and Yahoo!

Calligraphy with Chinese characters is popular too. Harmony, Tranquility, Believe, Garden, Dream, Imagine, Peace, Welcome, Kindness, Honesty, Long Life, Happiness, Friend, Rain, Fire, Teacher, Forever, Comfort, Flower, Light, Earth, Leisure, Think, Laugh, Chaos, Faith, Passion, Contentment, Standing Guard, Reality, Truth, Water, Good Luck, Love, and Dream.

Wait…there’s more! Words and phrases of inspiration, including Ten Commandments, Congratulations, and Class of 2005 are great ideas. Display Fraternity engravings with Greek letters, poetry, institutional names and messages, or marriage and/or anniversary dates.

So, as you can see, we are not a monument company, and as I said at the beginning, I am the owner of a rock and stone company. (Smile) “May your troubles be less and your blessings be more and nothing but happiness come through your door.” (Hey, quotations too!) “Engraved Rock Are for Fun and Happy Occasions Too!”
