Granite memorials for Mill Woods families
We are about 25 minutes south-east, which puts every cemetery serving Mill Woods inside the area we deliver and install to. Families here are usually buying for South Haven Memorial Gardens, Holy Cross Cemetery and Mount Pleasant, and each of those grounds has its own rules about memorial size, thickness and whether an upright is allowed at all. Call the shop
Mill Woods is one of the most diverse parts of the city and we letter memorials for its families in Punjabi, Urdu, Arabic, Tagalog and Chinese. Non-Latin scripts are proofed by a reader before anything is cut.
Everything we make is cut and lettered on 181 Street in west Edmonton — solid granite, sandblasted by hand, never ordered in finished and resold. You are welcome to come and see the stone at full size before it goes out to Mill Woods, and a good number of Mill Woods families do exactly that. Ask for a quote
If you do not yet know what your section allows, that is the normal starting point and not a problem. Tell us the cemetery and the plot number and we will find out, in writing, before you make a single decision about granite or wording. There is no charge for that and no obligation attached to it.

Why us
Why Mill Woods families work with us
We know the Mill Woods cemeteries
We have set memorials at South Haven Memorial Gardens, Holy Cross Cemetery and Mount Pleasant and we know what each one accepts. Before we quote you anything we confirm your section's size, thickness and finish rules in writing with the cemetery.
Clear, itemised pricing
The memorial price covers the granite, the engraving and two designs, with any amount of front lettering in any language. Delivery and installation to Mill Woods are quoted separately and stated up front, alongside the cemetery's own permit fee — nothing appears at the end that was not on the quote.
A proof before anything is cut
You see a scaled drawing of the finished memorial and check every name, date and word on it. Proofs are free, we redraw as many times as needed, and nothing goes to the saw until you approve it.
The cemetery paperwork is ours
Permit applications, size approvals and foundation scheduling are handled by us. You should not have to learn how a cemetery permit works while you are grieving.
Locally
What Mill Woods families usually choose
Mill Woods is the most linguistically varied part of the city we work in, and the memorials follow. We letter in Punjabi, Urdu, Arabic, Tagalog and Chinese for families here, and every non-Latin proof is checked by someone who reads the script before the stone is cut. Most Mill Woods burials go to South Haven or Holy Cross, both of which are largely lawn-level.
Mill Woods questions
Asked by families here
Can you engrave a headstone in Punjabi, Urdu or Chinese?
Yes, and the proof is read by someone who reads the script before anything is cut. For Punjabi, Urdu, Chinese and Tagalog we have the proof verified by a reader before the stone is cut. For scripts nobody here reads we find a reader to verify the proof, and we tell you we have done so rather than leaving you to hope.
Can a memorial carry two languages?
Commonly, and it is often the right answer — the name and dates in English so the cemetery records and future visitors can read them, and the inscription in the family's language. We lay both out on the proof so you can see the balance before deciding.
