Monuments
Choosing a monument can be an arduous and overwhelming process – but one of our talented and supportive staff will guide you through. There are several considerations when deciding how to memorialize a loved one. An important starting point is knowing the rules and regulations required by the cemetery as they vary widely and can be quite specific. Our team will guide you through this. Once you know the regulations of your plot, you will be able to make selections in the size, granite, and design of your monument within those restrictions.
The monument craft, like any art, has multiple methods. Beautiful designs can be sandblasted into the granite, etched on the surface, or hand carved. We offer all
options with expertise and precision using highly trained professionals and the best tools available.
Cemetery Lettering
If your plot has a monument installed, Fricke Memorials offers expert cemetery lettering to add the name, date,
and additional endearments to the existing monument. Inscription work is completed on site so the monument need not be removed from the cemetery. We can match any lettering font and style, and will take precise impressions of the monument to match the size, spacing, and placement of the monument.
