There are 3 primary finishes to a granite memorial.

SAWN: The stone, when cut to size results in a “sawn sides” finish which as you might expect is little more than the smooth surface of the granite itself.

POLISHED: Granite surfaces can be “polished” into a smooth, glossy finish which lends to a very attractive refined appearance. Oftentimes, depending on the color of the granite, the polish will cause the sun to shimmer and reflect off the monument.

ROCK PITCHED: Chiseled by hand to give a more balanced “natural” finish to the stone. Although rough, there is an aesthetic symmetry to sides and an unmatched uniqueness to the monument.
