Why Glass?

Our cast premium glass monuments are translucent glass memorials created with kiln formed glass, four inches thick and mounted into a stainless steel or bronze base.  The glass is heated to temperatures over 1500 degrees, then requires two weeks to properly cool.  Each glass memorial contains a unique array of suspended air bubbles and natural textures.  Your personal information and artwork are carved into the surface after cooling.

These luxury monuments can also be affixed onto a granite or concrete foundation for permanency, and are created with the intent of lasting thousands of years, requiring little or no maintenance.

Each glass memorial will be built uniquely for the client and will glow in natural light, differentiating itself from standard monuments. Radiant, touchable, premium monuments are designed for the modern, artistic individual who defies definition. In the setting of a memorial park or cemetery they will be a glowing tribute that will stand out from traditional stone memorials.

Why Glass and not Granite?

Despite common myth, the molecular structure of glass is not liquid but solid.  It does not droop with time, does not melt with age, or rest in an unstable state.

Gourmet cooks use Pyrex glass to bake pies and chemists use glass beakers to handle very strong chemicals and corrosive agents safely in a lab. Conversely, if you slice an eighth inch layer of granite from a slab and throw a rock at it, you would find that it breaks much like a piece of window glass.  If you cast a slab of window glass four inches thick, you will find yourself with a very, sturdy, durable and lasting architectural material.
