The driving force behind the creation of The Monument Designer^TM was the belief that people would benefit from the experience as well as the beauty of the finished memorial.  The selection of a personalized memorial can be emotionally healing for some of those who will go through the process. Creating a lasting tribute helps us deal with the loss.  The designing gives us an opportunity to reflect on our connection with our loved one and obviously a way to commemorate their life.  The memorial protects those memories keeping them safe.  No one wants to be forgotten.  The Monument Designer^TM allows you the freedom to explore which options may be most fitting.  Let us know if you have questions or concerns.

Bronze markers are the memorial of "choice" in most memorial parks. Traditionally, the memorial parks only allow the use of a bronze plaque. Bronze plaques were dignified, but limited in the amount of personalization opportunities.  Bronze markers are made by pouring molten metal into a mold made from sand.  Sometimes the sand becomes loose which leaves the edges uneven or rough.  The casting process is limited because the molds can not give life like details to complex images. (Like portraits)  Technology has changed everything, including the production of bronze memorials. Bronze markers are now made through a computer controlled process producing sharp crisp edges.  Sharp enough to provide real life images, uniform text, and fine details for smaller emblems.  Technology has brought about the use of color for bronze markers.  The inclusion of color photos into a bronze memorial is the highest form of personalization.  Rich traditions and strong familial relationships can now be depicted using actual photographs.  Talk about personal! This is your memorial!
