Bronze on Granite Markers

Did you know that you can use a granite base as a foundation for your bronze grave marker?

In the past, families were told they had to use a concrete base for a foundation for their bronze marker. I personally have seen how the concrete separates from the bronze and it isn't appealing.

Nowadays you can use a granite stone as a base foundation. When the granite is used it is like picture framing your loved one bronze memorial. There are many different colors of granite available to use as a foundation for your bronze grave marker.

To see some examples click on this link, this will put the words above into reality for you.

Even with regular cleanings, a cast bronze plaque will develop a patina that usually forms as a green color. The formation of this patina is a normal oxidizing process that creates a natural shield for the bronze. While those who appreciate fine art highly value the patina, others may prefer the original finish. For those who prefer the factory finish, the plaques can be restored through refinishing

There are two methods of refinishing:

We offer a resurfacing kit that allows you to refinish a 500 square inch plaque in about two hours.

Plaques and cast letters can be returned to the factory for refinishing. At the plant, the plaques/letters are sandblasted, sprayed with a selected background color, highlighted and given a new protective coating. Factory refinishing usually takes two - four weeks.
