This article is about a monument shop in New York, but the same applies to us and every monument builder in the country. Smaller shops like ours are especially affected because we didn’t have the huge stock of supplies on hand. We very much appreciate the understanding and patience that our families that are waiting have given us. We will get through this.

Supply chain issues are affecting the few memorial businesses left in New York, a former hub for the ‘old-world craft.’

This is from our supplier Dakota Granite. They are our favorite supplier of monumental granite, located in South Dakota, right here in the good ol’ USA.

This “Slab flipper” flips slabs on our polishing line. It is an efficient way to flip the slab, so we can polish the other side of our slabs for production. This “Spatula” can flip a slab that is 10’ x 5’ and 8” thick that weighs 3 tons!

We are happy to be back open and ready to serve your countertop or cemetery memorial needs. We do ask that you wear a mask, as per Gov. Inslee's recommendation.

Under Gov. Inslee's "Stay Home - Stay Healthy" order, we will be closed starting tomorrow, March 26th, at least until April 9th under the current 2 week order. We will still be answering our phones and communicating through e-mail. We are not able to install memorials or countertops during this closure. Please follow this order to keep your family safe and healthy. We will get through this.

**UPDATE**
Police recovered the pickup. It was the vehicle in the high speed chase from Northern Quest after a hit & run last night. It has slight damage. Most of the tools are still in it. Thank goodness! Thanks for all of your shares.

Spokane friends. Our shop just had a pickup brazenly stolen from our shop at 1979 W 5th Ave, near Brownes Addition. 2005 White GMC Extended Cab WA Plate . There is an A-Frame in the back. Photo is not of our truck, but looks just like it. If anyone sees it please call 911 and contact us. Thank you.

Stone is polished by hours of work by a skilled craftsman. There is no "coating" that is applied. The beautiful, nearly permanent shine on memorials is created by a series of diamond impregnated pads, water, and a skilled craftsman. If the polishing process is done incorrectly, the stone can overheat causing the stone surface to prematurely crumble. http://ow.ly/Ci9F30m5o7h
