At Crown Tombstones, we understand the deep emotional value of seeing your loved one’s face preserved in stone. Our portrait engraving service is a powerful way to honour their memory with lasting beauty and precision.
Step 1:
High-Quality Image Selection
We begin by requesting a clear, high-resolution photograph of your loved one. The better the image quality, the more accurate and lifelike the final engraving will be. Our team can guide you in choosing the most suitable image for engraving.
Step 2:
Digital Refinement
Our design specialists carefully edit the photograph, adjusting contrast, sharpness, and definition. We convert the image into a greyscale format suitable for stone work, paying special attention to facial features, light, and shadow.
Step 3:
Advanced Diamond-Tip Engraving
Using state-of-the-art diamond-tip engraving technology, the portrait is etched directly into premium granite. This method allows for extraordinary detail, preserving even the finest lines and expressions. Each engraving is uniquely calibrated to the stone’s surface for depth and clarity.
Step 4:
Hand-Finishing by Our Artisans
After machine engraving, our skilled craftsmen complete the portrait by hand, enhancing the definition and ensuring the final result is both soft and striking. This final step brings warmth and emotion to the piece, making it truly one of a kind.
Step 5:
Approval & Installation
We provide an image of the completed portrait for your review before installation. Once approved, the tombstone is professionally installed at the agreed cemetery site with the utmost respect and care.
A Lasting Tribute: Our portrait engravings are weatherproof, fade-resistant, and crafted to last for generations, preserving not only the memory but the likeness of those who meant so much.
