Granite Lacroix, Your Tombstone Manufacturer
Our commitment to quality: all our memorial monuments come with a lifetime guarantee.
Artisanal Expertise
A tombstone is both a commemorative symbol honoring the life of the deceased and an essential place of reflection for loved ones: family, friends, and descendants. This stone monument displays various information as well as a personal message, a quote, or a prayer—called the epitaph—engraved onto it.
Long used in many religious traditions (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Chinese, Buddhist, etc.), the tombstone often refers to the sole commemorative stele resting on a concrete base. This compact format, although only a part of the complete assembly, now constitutes the majority of memorial monuments found in cemeteries.
At Granite Lacroix, we honor this tangible connection between generations where loved ones gather:
- Custom manufacturing: a full range of hand-carved stones
- Exceptional material: use of high-density, premium-quality granite
- Varied aesthetics: a variety of colors and textures to suit all styles and budgets
- Personalization options: engraving of names, dates, and epitaphs (personal messages, quotes, or prayers)
Support and Installation Standards
We guide you through every step to ensure the longevity of your monument while complying with local requirements:
- Regulatory compliance: We advise checking aesthetic rules and specific restrictions for each cemetery. We can also direct you to locations that meet your needs
- Professional installation: using our specialized machinery and equipment, we install your monument safely, according to best practices and cemetery standards in Laval, Montreal, the South Shore, the North Shore, and throughout Quebec
- Note: the concrete foundation is generally installed by the cemetery. Be sure to inquire about plot rental and maintenance fees, as they vary between establishments
Practical Advice: Monument Maintenance
Although granite is highly durable, pollution and dust can dull its appearance.
Recommended method: clean the stone with a nylon-bristle brush and water mixed with a small amount of dish soap.
Professional service: our specialized team can be requested for cleaning and restoring your monument after purchase.
