In the spring of 1991, a childhood dream came out of Curt Christman's mind and became a reality. Lewis County Monuments was started in 2007, and the name was changed to North County Memorials Inc. to better facilitate the current vision of serving Northern NY. Currently, Curt and his eldest son Christian are in a partnership operating the monument business. This small business has endured the ups and downs that all businesses encounter. Come along and enjoy the ride!

I’ve been putting off getting my late sons headstone. It’s been 11 years now, we bought the plots next to him for me and my wife but headstone big enough for all three of us is very expensive here by me in NW suburbs of Chicago, ( it’s 12k). Hope to get it done very soon. God Bless you. RIP all who left us

I always tell people to take your time and do it when your ready. Forest Hill memorials has a RU-vid Channel and is close to you maybe check him out.

M wife and I owned a monument company for years. It is a business I always enjoyed, but at 72 I'm getting a little old for the amount of work that has to go into it. It was just the two of us most of the time, and she handled the front office, and design, and I did the sandblasting and taking out the stones. We are in the process of turning over the business to one of our granddaughters right now and we are looking forward to teaching her the ins and outs of the business. I really enjoy watching your videos, and while most of the process is the same we do a few things different down here in Alabama.

Great video👍. Hint for lining up end dates if you have the original file with birth date - cut a full stencil with both dates and simply line up the birth date over the existing engraving and mask up accordingly 😊.

@-gravestonepros Месяц назад

Yes that works great but we do a lot of other's stones.

@MrMarkjenn Год назад

I’ve yet to come across a single time I’ve needed any glue. The stencil itself has always held to the stones just fine. Love your videos and that it’s all about family and education.

@-gravestonepros Год назад

Thanks so much. So you don't use the tape or anything? What stencil do you use?

@MrMarkjenn Год назад

@@-gravestonepros Use to use 3m, But you know the story with them. I’ve switched to using Anchor products. I personally prefer not to have the double liner. I’ve found that with fine lines getting through it sometimes isn’t a clean and even cut. Now I’m not the artist like your pops. I’ve been working on freehand when I have time but I’m not ready to try and charge for it just yet. I have found that if I can draw it, take my drawing to a tattoo shop they can make a transfer I can put one the stencil and then cut the stencil by hand. This trick has came in handy at times.

@willsessum5748 Год назад

I have a small glass table with a light under it. Print whatever design you want, trace the backside of the paper with a good pencil, lay the paper pencil down on the stencil an rub all of the art or lines etc. The pencil transfers over to the stencil an you just hand cut it out. Ive printed art or even fonts off with my phone and just traced the back an transfer it to the stencil. Love all this feedback, not alot of us around these days it seems.

@MrMarkjenn Год назад

@@willsessum5748 That’s a good idea I’ll have to try sometime. I have hand drawn on stencils with a pen and pencil but your way could make some items that won’t vector clean easier.

Double sided tape is the way to go man. Works great in all situations for me so far. Thank you sir for doing this video !!!

@-gravestonepros Год назад

You're welcome! Do you ever use the tape in the shop or just in cemetery's?

@willsessum5748 Год назад

I always used glue in the shop, more of a controlled environment. All i do now is cemetery engraving and the double sided tape is a huge advantage.

I enjoyed your videos. Friends of mine run a monument business in Hartford Wisconsin. Another friend of mine used to cut the stencils for the folks from Hartford before they bought a plotting/cutting machine. The wife used to draw out all the cut lines on the stencils and my buddy would sit down and cut them all out by hand. He would double check all the dates and spelling on the work order too. I have always wondered about how they add dates to existing monuments. From the midwest here also. Those cornor stones, where do they go? Do they mark out the corners of the families plot ? Almost like how they used to put small fences around the plot? Why are the corner stones lettered?

@atclfi3 9 месяцев назад

@@paul5683Yes they mark the corners of family plots and the letter is the first letter of the last name.

@-gravestonepros 9 месяцев назад

@@paul5683 Exactly like the old fences just a helpful edge marker. The engraved letters are the initials of the family name.

Interesting to watch how you do all that with the stones. Cemeteries are always peaceful. Mayo clinic has an online diet program. It's great recipes that are affordable and doable. They taste great too.

can you please talk some about how you prepare for a burial site, for a Cremation. I would appreciate your education on the process for preparing a cremation burial site. Thank you

@-gravestonepros 9 месяцев назад

I don't do any of that kind of work the cemetery's do all of that. I do known around us they just dig a hole about 2.5 to 3 feet deep. Some will use a cement vault and some don't.

@-gravestonepros Thanks, we bought a tombstone in Augusta, Ga, and they told my mom and I that when it comes to the remaining person, they will come out and add the date at no charge 22 years later, it took about a year of pleading with the owner to add her death date. They charged me $140.00 to come and sand blast her tombstone date . Took the man about an hour , and I never use them ever again. They didn't care a Bojangales bought their property, and they made a bunch.
