Granite memorials for Morinville families
We are about 30 minutes north, which puts every cemetery serving Morinville inside the area we deliver and install to. Families here are usually buying for St. Jean Baptiste Cemetery and the Sturgeon County cemeteries at Legal and Cardiff, and each of those grounds has its own rules about memorial size, thickness and whether an upright is allowed at all. Call the shop
Morinville's Catholic cemetery has a long French-Canadian history and many families want French inscriptions. We set those regularly and we proof them with the accents correct, which is not a given in this trade.
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 Morinville, and a good number of Morinville 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 Morinville families work with us
We know the Morinville cemeteries
We have set memorials at St. Jean Baptiste Cemetery and the Sturgeon County cemeteries at Legal and Cardiff 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 Morinville 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 Morinville families usually choose
St. Jean Baptiste is a French-Canadian Catholic cemetery and the memorials reflect it: uprights, crosses, and a good number of French inscriptions. Accents matter, and getting them wrong is the kind of error that is visible forever. We proof French with the accents set correctly and we ask a French reader to check it, which is not standard practice in this trade.
Morinville questions
Asked by families here
Can you engrave a headstone in French with correct accents?
Yes, and we proof it with a French reader before cutting. Accented capitals in particular are routinely dropped by monument shops working from a typed list, and on a granite memorial that mistake is permanent. Ask to see the accents on your proof and check them yourself as well.
Do you work at the Sturgeon County cemeteries around Morinville?
Yes — Legal, Cardiff and the smaller county grounds are all inside the area we deliver and install to, along with St. Jean Baptiste in Morinville itself.
