What makes our memorials different

True monument-style sand carving—not just a surface mark

We are one of the few pet memorial studios offering true monument-style sand carving. Controlled abrasive pressure removes stone and creates engraving you can see and feel—the traditional character expected from a lasting memorial.

  • Letters and artwork have visible and tactile depth
  • Traditional monument character made for outdoor remembrance
Alternative option

  • Creates a shallower mark on the face of the stone
  • Has a smoother, flatter appearance
  • Available as a more economical choice on select granite designs

Deeper premium engraving

Helpful details

Questions before you order

Should I choose laser engraving or sand carving?

Laser engraving is a precise surface etching that works well for detailed portraits. Sand carving cuts the design more deeply into the granite for a tactile, traditional monument finish.

What kind of photo works best for engraving?

A clear, well-lit image with your pet in focus works best. We prepare the image for engraving and will contact you if another photo is likely to produce a better result.

Can I use my own poem or personal words?

Yes. Add the wording and instructions in the personalization area or order notes. We provide a digital proof before production for custom wording or requested design changes.

Can the memorial include a color portrait outdoors?

Select sizes offer an outdoor kiln-fired porcelain portrait. The heat-resistant process is durable for outdoor use, although color can look slightly softer or more muted than a digital proof.

How long does production take?

Standard processing is approximately 2–3 weeks. A $25 rush-production service moves the order to the front of our queue and is approximately 3–5 business days. Shipping time is additional.
