Owatonna Granite & Monument

We have been capturing memories in granite and bronze since 1917. We have the technology to do both laser etchings or the more traditional carved and sandblasted designs. Every order has an approval drawing done before any work is started. We also have the strongest perpetual written guarantee available. Express your love for your spouse by choosing to have a couple's memorial for your burial or cremation. Owatonna Granite & Monument can engrave quotes or poems that have special meaning to you, as well as pictures that symbolize you as a couple. Just because someone has passed away doesn't mean that all the good memories die with him or her as well. You can keep the deceased's memory alive and well with a memorial that reflects their personality. At Owatonna Granite & Monument, we can create memorials out of rich metallic bronze coupled with durable granite to honor the memories of the ones you love and have passed. Soldiers are the ones who fight for our freedom, so acknowledge and honor their sacrifices with a beautiful memorial dedicated to the fallen. Since sharing your lives together has been so important to you, purchasing a memorial together will likely be important to you as well. Additionally, you may decide you want to include other family members in the decision making process (many couples and families talk about planning their memorials). With each year, the number of cremations has been increasing. Many people don't choose to have a monument in the cemetery with cremations. However, as with burials, you can choose to have a memorial to commemorate your loved ones. John Heerema was born in Albert Lea, MN.
