Additional Inscriptions
When a memorial already exists, families often return to us to add a spouse's name, a passing date, or a meaningful verse. We treat this work with the same care as a new memorial.
Is This Service Right for You?
Families with an existing monument who need to add information after a second passing, or who want to include an inscription that wasn't part of the original design.
Typical Process
- 1
Provide the existing memorial's details and cemetery location.
- 2
Confirm new wording and placement on the stone.
- 3
Review cemetery rules for adding inscriptions to an existing memorial.
- 4
Complete the inscription to match the memorial's existing style.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Available space on the existing memorial may affect layout options.
- Matching older lettering styles depends on the stone's condition.
- Cemetery approval may be required before work begins.
