Etching is a method of carving on the polished surface of dark granites usually a black granite. Etching can be done by laser or by hand. With laser etching you can have whatever you imagine engraved on the monument with finite detail and photos can be altered. If you cannot find a picture of what you want, we can always have our artist draw something for you.  There is an additional fee for any etching and color can be added to an etching.
