PLEASE NOTE that due to the problems caused by the end of 2020 to world shipping by COVID-19 we – like many US manufacturers – are experiencing severe delays in receiving raw materials from India and China. The stone will arrive but the shipping delays are adding weeks to the normal timescale and shippers are substantially increasing their charges.
When families come to us, they often want a photograph of their loved one on their chosen memorial. This is a very important element in memorialization, and we want the families to have the highest quality experience when they use our services.
It has been a very difficult year for everyone, and our thoughts are with the families who have lost loved ones during this time. We continue to be mindful of the need to keep our community members healthy and secure. Here are some updates on what we have been working on to ensure everyone's safety and satisfaction in our services:
Dear family member, please make a note that different cemeteries in the Baton Rouge area have restrictions on the type and size of monument allowed, as well as installation rules and fees.

Digital printing technology is an on-going revolution that has spawned new business opportunities and brought some close to extinction. I rarely have photos developed at a print shop anymore. One of the most recent business opportunities spawned by digital printing technology is the ability to use digital printing to decorate ceramic products. Ceramic materials are some of the most durable on Earth. But the highly abrasive nature of ceramic pigments has been a problem for digital printing processes until very recently. The ability to use high resolution digital printing devices to reproduce ceramic art is a windfall for the ceramic artist and a new business opportunity for anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit.
