We coordinate with cemeteries on your behalf to help ensure compliance with size and style regulations, while you remain responsible for obtaining final written approval from the cemetery.
How do your memorial brands differ, and what is the complete structure of your brand levels from Economy to Architecture?
A: Our memorial group consists of several specialized brands, each created for a specific budget level, design expectation, material type, and project complexity. Together, they form a clear, transparent “brand ladder” that helps families, cemeteries, funeral homes, and partners instantly understand which brand matches their needs — from the most affordable granite marker to premium monuments, bronze sculptures, and full architectural columbarium systems. Below is the complete explanation of how all brands are positioned, how they differ, and who each one is designed for. This structure ensures no confusion, no overlapping prices, no mixed visuals, and a consistent experience across all websites and products.
1. Capital Grave Markers — Economy / Outlet (simple, affordable granite markers) Capital is our Economy-level brand, designed for families seeking a dignified granite memorial at the lowest possible cost. Capital focuses on simple shapes, essential customization, fast production, clear and honest pricing, and outlet inventory such as overstock, discontinued models, and showroom samples. It is ideal when the priority is affordability, simplicity, and speed. No unnecessary upsells, no premium features — just practical, direct, budget-friendly memorials that meet cemetery requirements. Capital is the entry point of our ladder.
2. Memory Stones — Comfort (guided, affordable headstones with full support) Memory Stones is our Comfort-level brand, created for families who want more design choice, better materials, stronger warranties, and personal guidance — but still at an accessible mid-range price. Memory Stones includes custom engraving, 3D visualization, photo proofs, cemetery regulation assistance, and lifetime stone warranty. It sits between Economy and Premium: more refined than Capital, more supportive, more options, larger catalog, but still not premium-level complexity. This brand is ideal for families who want quality and personalization without entering the premium price tier.
3. Remembrance Headstones — Premium (designer monuments, angels, cultural motifs, 3D rounds) Remembrance is our Premium granite brand. It focuses on advanced shapes, carved angels, hearts, religious and cultural designs, custom elements, extensive 3D design rounds, premium materials, and full-service handling of approvals, layouts, logistics, and cemetery requirements. It’s best for families who want a monument that is artistic, elaborate, or highly customized. Prices reflect the craftsmanship, sculpture-level detail, design time, and premium service included. This brand serves clients who expect a luxury experience, deep emotional design, and the highest aesthetic standards.
4. Legacy Bronze — Bronze Art (premium bronze plaques, statues, ensembles) Legacy Bronze is our Bronze Art brand, dedicated to premium bronze memorials, plaques, nameplates, sculptural elements, and full bronze ensembles for private families, cemeteries, gardens, churches, and public memorials. Bronze is a different category from granite — it requires different casting, patina work, finishing, and design language. Legacy Bronze handles projects where longevity, artistic expression, and timeless material quality are essential. It serves both B2C and B2B needs when granite alone is not enough or when the memorial requires bronze artistry, figurative work, or architectural integration.
5. Memoria Columbaria — Architecture (columbaria, niche walls, mausolea) Memoria Columbaria is our Architectural brand. It deals with structural memorial solutions: columbarium walls, modular columbaria, small mausolea, niche systems in stone, bronze, and glass. This brand is for cemeteries, churches, municipalities, urban planners, and large-scale memorial projects. Unlike consumer headstones, these are engineered architectural systems requiring permitting, planning, engineering drawings, load considerations, and long-term materials. Memoria is the top of the ladder — the highest level of complexity and scale.
Full Ladder Summary (What the customer should understand):
Comfort → Memory Stones Mid-range headstones with guided support, lifetime warranty, 3D design, and full-service assistance.

Why this structure exists (so customers never feel confused):
Because every family and every cemetery has different needs, budgets, cultures, materials, and project sizes. One brand cannot serve everyone without causing confusion, mixed pricing, mismatched expectations, or diluted design. By dividing our work into five clear levels, we ensure:
Families instantly know which brand is for them
Pricing makes sense for each level
No mixing of premium visuals with economy pricing
No mismatching of expectations
No “why is this expensive here but cheap there?”
Each site stays clean, consistent, and trustworthy
The entire group feels unified but not chaotic
Final clarity statement (the sentence that removes 100% of confusion):
We are one memorial group with five specialized brands — Capital (Economy), Memory Stones (Comfort), Remembrance (Premium), Legacy Bronze (Bronze Art), and Memoria (Architecture) — so every family and every partner can find the right memorial solution without overpaying or being limited by a single style, price level, or material.
How does Memory Stones stand out from others?
We have been in business since 1960, with extensive international experience and advanced technology. Every memorial is backed by a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship at the time of delivery, ensuring you receive the quality you expect.
How long does shipping take after production?
Delivery Time: From 1 month
Do you have other designs?
Yes, we can create any design you request. Our designers specialize in producing unique, high-quality memorials that families are proud of.
