| What methods are available to engrave stone? |
|
|
Architarium prefers sandblasting for a deep engraving that can also hold a paint-fill. |
|
Some of our clients have had success using laser engraving. However, there are some reservations. 1) Laser engraving is not deep. 2) Options for color fill may be limited. 3) The color fill may not be appropriate for exterior venues. |

| Who is available to engrave stone? |
|
|
Architarium will engrave face plates from our columbariums. Contact us for the engraving process. |
|
Monument suppliers are good candidates for local engraving. They also often use sandblasting. |
|
Trophy shops may have a sandblasting capability or may have a laser engraver capable of engraving stone. |
|

| |
| Are stone samples available? |
|
|
Absolutely. Architarium will provide a small sample of stock stones at no cost. |
|
Special order stone samples will incur a cost. |
|
A custom engraved face plate sample is available for a price. |
|
| |
| |
| What are other stone considerations? |
|
|
Of all of the stones that Architarium uses, granite is the most durable and easiest to maintain. |
|
Some stones should be sealed but may still stain. |
|
Stone for a freestanding columbarium must be available in both tile and 1.25” slab.
|
|
Natural stone appearance can vary somewhat within lots and greatly between lots. |
