Granite memorials for Terwillegar families
We are about 20 minutes south-west along the river, which puts every cemetery serving Terwillegar inside the area we deliver and install to. Families here are usually buying for South Haven Memorial Gardens, Westlawn Memorial Gardens and Edmonton Cemetery, and each of those grounds has its own rules about memorial size, thickness and whether an upright is allowed at all. Call the shop
Terwillegar families often end up at memorial gardens rather than traditional cemeteries, and memorial gardens are where bronze-on-granite requirements are most common. We will check the specification before you fall in love with a granite design.
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 Terwillegar, and a good number of Terwillegar 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 Terwillegar families work with us
We know the Terwillegar cemeteries
We have set memorials at South Haven Memorial Gardens, Westlawn Memorial Gardens and Edmonton Cemetery 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 Terwillegar 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 Terwillegar families usually choose
Terwillegar families tend toward the memorial gardens — South Haven and Westlawn rather than the older municipal cemeteries — and that is where bronze-on-granite requirements turn up most often. It is worth checking before falling for a granite design, because the specification is the cemetery's and not negotiable. Where granite is permitted, flush markers in dark stone are the norm.
Terwillegar questions
Asked by families here
Why would the cemetery require bronze instead of granite?
Memorial gardens are designed around a uniform appearance, and several specify cast bronze on a granite base for that reason. It is an aesthetic and maintenance decision on their part. Bronze costs more than granite and patinas to a dark brown over time, which most families come to prefer to the new finish.
Is Terwillegar within your free delivery area?
Yes, comfortably. It is about twenty minutes south-west of the shop, and we deliver and install at South Haven, Westlawn and Edmonton Cemetery.
