CAPOZZI

The Capozzi memorial features a bold line carving of the Holy Family and contemporary style granite flower vases. The verse, “Your loving kindness shall be our everlasting remembrance” completes this tribute.

CONNELL – HALL

This estate size memorial was completed for two families whose main desire was to have a place to sit when visiting the cemetery. The black granite monument features inscriptions requested by the family and is adorned with a simple etched carving of the dove of peace.

BROWN

This memorial is an original design concept influenced by the Art Deco architectural era. Shown in a column style memorial, the Brown family name is a hand-drawn font to match the Art Deco style of this large family monument.

KING Memorial  

Mr. King was a builder of fine homes and his wife desired to reflect his work in the family memorial. The columns were chosen to represent architectural design. Also included as an important feature of the King’s home was the front door with its beautiful molding. The cap of the memorial is a replica of the door’s molding.
  

PADGETT Memorial

Mrs. Padgett was an avid gardener who loved all flowers but especially the beautiful lily. A cross symbolizing the family’s Christian faith was very important in the design concept of the memorial. Three lilies were chosen to represent the Holy Trinity with the intertwining ribbon uniting the Three as One.

Robb Memorial

The Robb family wanted a bench to be vibrant and modern in contrast to many of the memorials in an older section of their cemetery. They liked the rustic finish of the rocked textures and wanted to combine that finish with a more contemporary look so their memorial would stand out as unique.

The Zitnik Memorial

The Zitnik family has a deep faith and strong family bonds and wanted to combine more than one meaningful design element. A picture of “The Last Supper” hangs in their home and became the main theme of the design. They referred to the Bread of Life to sum up their faith, which is stated on the memorial. Music is also important to the family so the notes of the refrain “…and He will raise you up on the last day” from the song “I am the Bread of Life” was cut on the monument. A family member’s original drawing was used to create the carnation designs on the end tablets.

The Hopkins Family Memorial

This monument was designed and fabricated in collaboration with the family and the glass manufacturer. The monument calls to memory a rising and setting sun with mountains in the foreground. The four inch thick glass “sun” was fabricated from blue-green glass and was embedded several inches into the granite. The bottom of the tablet has a one inch cutback that visually separates it from the foundation. The epitaph reads, “Here lie individuals of storied pasts, adventurous lives, full of hopes and dreams”. The thick glass picks up the sun’s light and changes color throughout the day.

The Lange Family Memorial

The family had a statue in their home of their favorite arch angel, Gabriel, and wanted the design incorporated on their memorial. The shape of the tablet was chosen to compliment the bas relief carving. The family requested unique and large family name lettering as well as flower vases to complete this outstanding memorial design.

The Braun Family Memorial

The family wanted a one piece memorial with a portion of the tablet dedicated to their son and the other two-thirds for the parents. The tablet was broken into three elements using sculptural texture. This gave individual areas for the son, the parents and their family name. The design elements were important and included above their names.

The Cipriano Family Memorial

The family wanted a one piece memorial with a portion of the tablet dedicated to their son and the other two-thirds for the parents. The tablet was broken into three elements using sculptural texture. This gave individual areas for the son, the parents and their family name. The design elements were important and included above their names.

The Buikema Family Memorial

This customer loved and wanted lots of roses on her monument. She also wanted unique bronze lettering for her family name. This script lettering was designed and cast just for her. The rounded shape offered a very nice way of presenting her wishes.

The Maschka Family Memorial

Denny Maschka was the Director of Park and Recreation Department for the city. He was proud that he was able to secure the distinction of “Tree City, U. S. A.” for our city. To honor his love of trees and parks, his wife asked to have a bench memorial. The park’s logo, a special verse, and the hand prints of his grandchildren express his love of life.

The Fiveash Family Memorial

This monument was designed for a marble company’s convention exhibit and ended up in our display. The Fiveash family found it to their liking and we worked with them to select a nice family name font to set it apart from other memorials in their cemetery. The plinth offered a place for a favorite verse of Bonnie Jean’s.

The Jereb Family Memorial

The poppy flower and ivy were important to the family and placing them as very different elements was accomplished by the use of curves to give this tall tablet movement. The Kilroy design was a must and its side placement doesn’t detract from the memorial as a whole.

The Peterson Family Memorial

Mr. Peterson liked the angles on the front face of the tablet and they reminded him of the cut stones in his wife’s diamond ring..

Family Monuments

For families who desire a larger cemetery lot, the family memorial may be placed as the focal point on the lot and then individual markers placed as they are needed to complete the memorial tribute. The family monument is designed to reflect the family's most noteworthy aspect of life. This, of course, will vary with each family.
