At Summit Memorials, we’re focused on helping our clients honor the memories of their loved ones. Our highly trained staff tries to make a challenging time a little less difficult by providing high-quality memorial services and products.
We are a full-service monument company and pride ourselves on creating exquisite monuments that are built to stand the test of time. We specialize in on-site engraving, monument restoration and cleaning, and public art projects. Moreover, in addition to producing high-quality headstones, our skilled craftsmen can provide various other services in any cemetery across Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Listed below are some of the essential services that our company offers to its clients. These services should be offered by all professional monument companies in Canada and around the world.
When purchasing a headstone for yourself as part of pre-planning or buying one for a loved one, it is crucial to work with a company that offers different kinds and styles of monuments and can handle all your needs efficiently.
A monument company should be able to offer you different monument styles, types, and colors. They should also be able to provide monuments of different materials such as bronze, granite, marble, and more. This way, the client does not have to limit their options and can choose from various styles and designs.
It is important to keep in mind that not all materials are permitted in every cemetery. A lot of cemeteries only allow for granite and bronze headstones because of their durability and ease of maintenance. So, before you make any arrangements, be sure to check with your local professional monument company to learn about rules and limitations in material, size, and type of monuments in your cemetery.
All monument companies should be able to provide expert monument installation services. Although some monuments, such as flat markers, may not require installation by the monument company, heavy headstones such as most pillow style and upright monuments require specialized equipment and expertise to be installed correctly.
At Summit Memorials, we apply the same integrity and care with which your monument is created to its installation in the cemetery. We equip our monument installation trucks with the necessary tools and equipment for our skilled craftsmen to install any monument professionally. We provide monument installation services throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan.
On-site lettering, designing, and engraving allow monument experts to add names, dates, or other inscriptions to your existing monument on the spot. This service comes in handy when you don’t want to remove the headstone from the cemetery as it can damage the memorial in the process.
Some monument companies do not offer on-site lettering services and have to remove the headstone from the cemetery and bring it back to their shop to complete the lettering. At Summit Memorials, we can complete any lettering and design on-site in the cemetery, so there is no reason to disturb the monument. Our skilled craftsmen can match any existing lettering style, font and even add designs to an existing monument.
Monument restoration and cleaning is an important aspect of monument care. However, many people are unaware of the proper ways and techniques to clean a headstone and may accidentally harm the monument in the process by using abrasive scrubbers and the wrong cleaning agents. Moreover, it is not feasible for some families to take regular care of their loved one’s memorial as they may live far away or may not physically be able to clean the monument.
For this reason, it is important for monument companies to offer monument restoration and cleaning services. Summit Memorials has all the correct solutions to properly restore your monument making it look new, whether it be a major restore job or just a small clean-up project.
