With America’s 250th anniversary just around the corner, we pause to reflect and celebrate our own heritage here at Whitney Monument Works.

It’s our honor and pride to preserve and commemorate so many of “The people’s” legacies. Many may be gone but never forgotten, for if we have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Happy Semiquincentennial! 🇺🇸🎊

Don’t forget Memorial Day is coming up! 🇺🇸

When?

Memorial Day — Monday, May 26th

What?

Memorial Day is a federal holiday to honor U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the armed forces. It’s observed every year on the last Monday of May.

Ways people commemorate the day:
🪖 Visiting memorials and cemeteries
🕯️ Attending remembrance ceremonies
🎗️ Flying the American flag (at half-staff until noon, then full-staff)
🌺 Placing flowers or flags on veterans’ graves
🤝 Taking a moment of silence at 3PM local time

Fun fact:
It’s often confused with Veterans Day, which honors ALL who have served.

Memorial Day is specifically for those who made the ultimate sacrifice 🙏

Take a moment this May 26th to remember and reflect. Freedom isn’t free ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Custom Memorial Etchings ✒️

Memorial etchings are personalized images, text, or artwork that are permanently engraved into memorial headstones.

At Whitney Monument Works we do our etchings in-house with a diamond tip etcher which uses a small, ultra-hard diamond point to physically strike or abrade the surface of the granite.

What can be etched?

- Portraits or photographs, reproduced in fine detail on the stone
- Religious symbols, icons, or scenes (crosses, angels, doves, etc.)
- Nature imagery (flowers, trees, landscapes, wildlife)
- Hobby or interest-related artwork (golf clubs, musical instruments, military insignia, etc.)
- Meaningful quotes, poems, or scripture verses
- Custom scenes or illustrations that reflect the person's life

We'd love to help you create something truly personal and one-of-a-kind. We will work with you every step of the way to design a custom etching that's uniquely yours!
