Granite Quality on the Internet
Granite, NOT the same!
Granite is the most attractive, durable and long lasting surfaces you could have for a family monument - granite is a great reward from nature and the toughest surface for a family monument!
There are a few things that consumers buying a granite monument over the internet should be aware of before they purchase their family granite monuments.
Not all granite is the same quality!
Some granite sold over the internet may carry the same name as those stones seen in granite monument showrooms, the granite dealer may even say it’s the best quality, but if its ultra cheap, I can assure you - it is almost certainly not! Granite monuments vary in quality, with some types varying quite a lot! One of the main problems with granite is with the surface colors and blemishes which could be visible within. Although there may be several other problems that could be present, including; crack or fault lines in the granite, the surface could be over treated with resin or the stone could vary in thickness across its length - or simply, the granite supplied may differ greatly from the color and pattern profile commonly seen with that type of stone! Unfortunately with lower grades of granite, blemishes can be extremely noticeable and spoil the effect of the surface color and pattern. These blemishes found in the cheaper granite can be very ugly and must be cut around and confined to the waste pile…

Be advised!
A time-tested granite monument dealer will not sell any customer a piece of granite that has interior defects. The cheap suppliers cannot afford to cut out all problem marks and blemishes, or their profit would also be in the waste pile… Cheap granite monuments with customer “unknown” interior defects will make the future look of your family monument transform in an unfavorable way.

Be alert!
Again, it is difficult for the very cheap suppliers to reject such granite as they should, and still make a profit. Yes, there are bargains on the internet, but be aware that granite is far from all the same - if your granite dealer hasn’t a showroom, is ultra cheap, or hasn’t somewhere you can visit if things go wrong, think very carefully before purchasing! Many of the better granite monument dealers are also on the internet; some being established granite dealers, often with showrooms - check them out, they may not be the cheapest, but they may well be your best choice!

Granite Monuments
Do you remember being six? Getting ready for the new school year? Being worried about getting on the wrong bus? Do you remember a favorite teddy bear? Watching clouds drift by on summer days? Running barefoot through the grass and sledding down the big hill alone for the first time? Does being sixteen ring a bell somewhere in your memory? Do you remember trying out for the football team, the cheer leading squad, the lead in the class play? Being nervous about giving a speech or asking someone to dance? Can you recall the first time you ever fell in love? How you managed to survive the first break-up, and then the second one, and the third? And then swearing you would never fall in love again? And then you did… Do your memories bring comfort or pain or a little of both? What do you remember and what are you going to do with all those memories? I want to remember Grandma’s special cookie recipe and Grandpa’s stories. I want to remember the warmth of being held, and I want to remember the joy of being loved. I will remember the fears, the guilt, the funeral, the gloom, the thunder and the rain, because I want to remember the sun, and the joy and the love. I cannot separate my life into neat little compartments, each designed to hold only selected memories. As I continue to thrive to separate compartments, they become full, select memories seem to fade with time.
These select, boxed-up memories can fade, but not with granite. Granite monuments stand the test of time, FOREVER. Don’t let your tribute (granite monument) diminish, be sure your family knows what is important to you and exactly how you would like to be remembered, then picture this on a granite monument.
