What Is the Difference Between a Superior Monument and an Average One?

The difference comes from the skilled carving method used by Michael Brenner, owner of Houston County Monument Works, called Double Processing. Double-process carving produces monuments that have the sharpest and longest-lasting lettering possible. Single-process carving is widely used in today's "mass production, hurry up" world, and the finished products reflect that. Single-process carving results in the edges of the letter/design having rounded-over edges—resulting in a monument that is not crisp or easily visible. It is very important to know that a single-process stone will fade and flake at a much faster rate. Many manufacturers hope you won't notice this inferior result. We use double-process carving because we take pride in producing the highest-quality monuments for our clients and your loved ones. Double-process carving produces the best. Your loved one deserves the best. Compare our monuments, and you will easily see the difference. We create monuments that endure the test of time.
