Each of the carving options below can be customized with any design of your choice. We have a large selection of headstone designs as well that you can browse at our store. Woodlawn Memorials specializes in personalizing each monument or headstone to exact specifications.

Sandblast or Flat Carving: This particular type of work consists of placing a design on a rubberized mask, cutting out the lines and outlines of the design and then sandblasting the exposed surface. Sandblast designs are the most basic type of carving available.
Flat carved roses and other floral designs are not preferred for upright headstones.

Etching: A hand etching consists of using a diamond tipped engraving tool to draw or “etch” directly onto a polished monument. An etching looks best when it is done on a polished black granite monument because this will give you the greatest contrast. Etchings can also be done using laser machines. These are called laser etchings. Etchings can even be done in color.
