Memorials need to be designed with longevity in mind and at Smet Monuments we use only the highest quality granites to ensure this. Granite is among the hardest and most durable natural elements that the earth has to offer. As such, it requires an incredible amount of craftsmanship to sculpt it into a fitting memorial. Smet Monuments employs an array of skilled workers who work with the latest technologies available to produce unrivaled memorials.
Once a design has been agreed upon and the contracts signed, our production team works hard to deliver the memorial to you as fast as possible, usually within 6 to 8 weeks. From the first computer-generated design, through to the sandblasting or laser etching stages, to the final delivery, the utmost care is given to ensure your memorial will exceed your expectations.
At SMET Monuments, the process begins with a personalized consultation to understand your vision and preferences. This is followed by a custom computer generated design that allows you to review every detail before production begins. Once approved, the memorial is carefully crafted using high quality granite and advanced techniques. Many families begin by exploring options such as monuments and markers to better understand available styles and designs.
After the design is finalized and approved, most memorials are completed within approximately 6 to 8 weeks. This timeframe allows for precise craftsmanship, including engraving, shaping, and finishing. More customized options, such as cremation memorials, may require additional detailing depending on the design and personalization involved.
SMET Monuments exclusively uses high quality granite, known for its exceptional durability and resistance to weather conditions. Granite ensures that each memorial maintains its structure and engraving clarity for generations. This level of durability is especially important for larger structures such as mausoleums or functional memorials like granite benches, where long term performance is essential.
Each memorial begins with a detailed digital design that helps families visualize the final result before production starts. Once approved, skilled craftsmen use sandblasting and laser etching techniques to bring the design to life with precision. Families often explore different styles through our products to choose the most suitable memorial option.
Yes, durability is a key priority at SMET Monuments. Granite is one of the hardest natural materials, making it highly resistant to environmental conditions such as rain, snow, and temperature changes. This ensures that memorials remain strong and visually intact for generations, especially for public installations like civic and military memorials or traditional monuments and markers.
