If You Need an Inscription, Put Your Trust in Sunset

Headstone and Gravestone Inscriptions

What’s a Headstone Inscription?

A headstone inscription is when letters are engraved onto a memorial. Our design team at Sunset has lots of knowledge and experience with many different types of gravestone inscription We can create any engraving in any type or style of font.
We can also match any lettering style or engraving that’s on an existing memorial. This is called an added inscription. We can add a name, date, or any image or graphic you’d like. We’ll send you a sample called a proof, which will show you how the added lettering will look before we do the actual engraving.
Most headstone inscriptions are done at the place where the memorial is located. When gravestone inscriptions are done outside, sometimes unpleasant weather may cause a delay.
If you want a very large or complicated added gravestone inscription, we may need to bring the stone to our manufacturing facility. We have lots of experience doing this and we’re very careful so the memorial won’t get damaged.

Does Sunset Do Other Types of Inscription Work?

Sunset can add inscriptions to columbaria, address rocks, and granite signs.

Columbaria Doors

If you need an inscription added to a columbarium door (e.g., date, name), it’s very easy for us to do. We simply remove the door and bring it to our manufacturing facility. We add the inscription and then put in back on the columbarium. We can usually do this type of work quickly any time of year. Depending on where the columbarium is, sometimes it may take a little longer.

Address Rocks

Many address rocks are very large, which makes it hard to move them to our manufacturing facility. If you have a rock that’s large or very heavy, we will likely do the address inscription on site.
These types of inscriptions are done the same way we do headstone inscriptions. After you’ve chosen a design that you’re happy with, we’ll come and sandblast the design into the rock.

Granite Signs

If you have an existing granite sign that you need an inscription added to, Sunset can help. We can come to your location and add any information or graphics that you need. After you’ve chosen a design that you’re happy with, Sunset will come and sandblast the design onto the granite sign.
