Selecting the granite for a memorial can be confusing-much like selecting a fine gemstone. If you've ever purchased a diamond, you know that even stones that appear similar can vary greatly in quality and value. It takes special tools and expertise to tell a perfect stone from an imperfect one-whether diamond or granite.

There is a difference between granite memorials. And only one can be the best.

No other memorial firm offers a quality promise as strong as the Rock of Ages promise. How can we do it?

Simply put, only Rock of Ages owns its own quarries, manufacturing plants and memorial design studios selling memorials to the consumer. And only Rock of Ages controls the entire production process for each and every memorial we sell. From the actual quarrying of the granite, to the block selection, to the stone-cutting and polishing, to the final carving and engraving, our skilled craftsmen constantly assess the quality of the granite. And we save the very best stone for our own Rock of Ages lines of memorials.

Like diamonds, there are many grades of granite used for memorials. Rock of Ages owns the richest, most prolific granite quarries on earth. And only Rock of Ages offers our exclusive granites and colors, exceptional consistency and unparalleled craftsmanship.
