Granite Colors
Although we have access to all the granite colors the monument industry offers, the colors below are in our inventory in various sizes and styles. The granites that we have chosen to offer have stood the test of time over the years in an outdoor cemetery environment. These monument grade granite colors hold their polish well, are not prone to fractures and engrave beautifully. Granite’s ranging from gray, to green, to blue, even multi- colored with a swirling effect, can be found in most cemeteries. Some granite are quarried here in the United States while others are imported from overseas.
