Here at L.I.C. we use the finest granite material, Granite is a popular choice for tombstones due to its durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. Here are some qualities that make granite an excellent material for tombstones.
Durability
Granite is a natural stone known for its toughness and resistance to weathering. It can withstand exposure to outdoor elements such as rain, sunlight, and temperature fluctuations without deteriorating quickly. This durability ensures that the tombstone remains intact and retains its appearance for many years.
Resistance to Scratching and Etching
Granite is less susceptible to scratching and etching compared to softer stones like marble. This quality ensures that inscriptions and designs engraved on the tombstone remain legible and well-preserved over time.
Variety of Colors and Textures
Granite comes in a wide range of colors and textures, allowing for customization to suit individual preferences and memorial designs. From classic hues like black, gray, and white to more exotic options like blue pearl or rose pink, there's a granite color to match any memorial concept.
Ease of Maintenance
Granite is relatively easy to clean and maintain. Routine cleaning with mild soap and water can help remove dirt, moss, or other contaminants that may accumulate on the surface of the tombstone. Periodic sealing can also help protect the granite from staining and discoloration.
Longevity
Granite is a long-lasting material that can endure for generations. Unlike some other materials that may degrade or become brittle over time, granite retains its structural integrity and appearance for many years, ensuring that the memory of the deceased is honored and preserved for future generations.
