I AMERICAN MADEAll of our granite is quarried and carved here in the USA at our Barre, Vermont facility. We never import our materials from China or other foreign countries.

To ensure consistency in quality, color, and grain, we never keep granite in stock. Each stone is custom quarried from the same location to ensure

uniformity in finish. Beware builders that won’t guarantee that your granite is pulled from the same location. Granite pulled from different locations or depths can have drastically different qualities and will make your building

look “patched together” instead of having a uniform look.

II THE BEST MATERIALS

III SOLID SLAB FLOORING

Our floors are made out of solid slabs of granite, not thin-set tile on concrete. Over time, tile flooring can pull apart and crack due to cold and moisture. Imag-ine the durability of an 8"– 12" solid piece of granite versus a patchwork of hundreds of small tiles that each need to be held together with grout.

IV Thicker WallsOur walls and roofs are typically 8"– 12" thick. Many competitors’ buildings use 4"– 6" or thinner walls and compensate by using additional structure for support. Thicker walls are heavier walls which means they can carry greater loads and better resist earth movement.

These rulers are to scale. Compare our wall thickness to that of

many competitors.

V Fewer Joints

Our walls, floors and roofs are typically constructed from single solid slabs of granite and never have unnecessary horizontal joints like many competitors’ structures. Fewer joints mean fewer op-portunities for cold and water to seep in and do damage. Additionally, a solid slab of granite won’t have unsightly seams that can ruin the appearance of your building.

VI Expert JoineryOur mausoleums are constructed like a piece of fine furniture with pinned mortise and tenon joinery and stainless steel anchors. Very few companies employ this method to ensure durability. Then again, no other company offers an Eternal Guarantee...

VII Better

AccessoriesOur doors, windows, and other non-granite elements are made in the USA with the same attention to detail that we bring to our stonework. Many competitors use lower-quality imported components to save

costs and favor coatings and veneers to create the look of solid materials. This approach

won’t stand the test of time.

Custom Detail WorkOur columns, lettering and custom stonework are

hand carved by experienced artisans to our exacting

specifications, not pre-fabricated overseas in pieces and

glued together.
