Granite Colors

If there are no cemetery regulations on color or an existing memorial you would like to match, then it becomes a decision of what color appeals to you more. Twin City Monuments stocks 16 granite colors that cover a variety of gray, black, red, and pink, including many Twin City Monuments custom granite colors. Remember when selecting a memorial with an etched design it is necessary to choose a darker black from the black family of granite. This granite is best for the application of an etching providing the available contrast and granite quality to insure a good etching scene or portrait of your choice.
