3. What should I know before selecting my memorial or gravestone?
It is helpful to know what your Cemetry requirements are. Some cemeteries and memorial parks have very specific requirements regarding the size and style of your memorial marker. Clinton Grove Granite Works will do our best to guide you with your selection process based on your cemetery's guidelines and requirements.

4. What should I be aware of when ordering granite for gravestones or memorials?
Our many years of experience has taught us that there are different types and quality of granite. Coarse or large grain granite tends to be brittle and may not hold up as well in the Michigan seasonal climate changes. Some of the intricate designs or small lettering may break off due to water expansion or contraction within a course stone. When you choose a fine grain granite they are smaller and more tightly grained, which tends to withstand the elements better. Clinton Grove Granite Works carries a large selection of U.S. Granites quarried from Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Canada. These granites are proven to retain their original style, lettering and withstand varying weather conditions. Clinton Grove Granite also stocks some of the imported granites too. During our design consultation, we can confidently direct you to the best granite for your memorial's design and lettering selection.

5. Do we offer Laser pictures/ etchings?
All of our Etching Designs are Laser etchings which are computerized fabricated drawings.  The resemblance of the etching versus the actual picture being duplicated will amaze you.  Laser Etchings are created on high quality polished Black Granite which gives the greatest details and contrast. Please realize that the clarity, details and quality obtained using this process is extremely remarkable.  We are able to recreate a loved ones portrait from a clear 5 x 7 or larger photographs.
