Different carvings mean different things to many people. This page was made to help you select carvings for a monument or marker that will more closely represent your feelings and the character of the loved one that is no longer with you. With Thompson Monument Company you have all the flexibility to compose the memorial just the way that you want. We do not charge you for every little dot and dash but give you one price and unlimited lettering and carvings on the front of the monument or the top of the marker. There is an extra charge for carving and lettering the back of the monument or on it’s base. Email us for these extra charges as the price varies by the size of the monument. Be sure to let us know the size of monument that you are considering and the amount of lettering or carvings that you have in mind.
