Expressions in Bronze
"I was recommended to Lincoln Granite by my neice. When her father passed away she went through the cemetery to purchase a headstone. It cost her quite a bit of money. When she lost her mother she went to Lincoln Granite and saved alot of money with the same results.
We were looking for something special for our son Kevin. It had to be unique like he was. We saw online a sample and knew that was what we wanted. The cemetery showed us their version and we were not happy with that design. So we came to Lincoln Granite and found the perfect marker for Kevin. It depicts Kevin's life which was filled with so much love. Our last gift to our son is priceless. We thank Lincoln Granite for the kindness they showed us in making this happen."

Bronze Signs
Unique bronze signage is available for dedicating a building or just to honor an important person or event. Hundreds of sizes and shapes allow you to choose what fits your needs.
Bronze markers are made from an alloy which is composed of copper and tin with small amounts of lead and zinc. The elements are melted under intense heat and poured into a mold complete with design and lettering.
After cooling, your memorial goes through a process called chasing. The chasing process consists of removing imperfections by lightly grinding the memorial until the desired surface and texture are achieved.
When finishing your memorial, several coats of oxidation are applied. Once dry, the memorial is rubbed to remove paint and exposing the top edge of the letters and sculpted design features to reveal the natural bronze coloring. A lacquer coating is applied as the final finish. Various colors, designs and lettering styles are available to view in our showroom.

In the event you have sun baked dirt or other natural debris on your memorial, follow the steps below:
- Rinse with Dawn soap and water mixture.
- Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
- Let the memorial dry completely.
- Wipe with a soft rag soaked with WD-40 (note - do not spray WD-40 directly on the bronze marker).
- Repeat until the memorial holds a shine.
DO NOT USE ANY BRUSHES OR CHEMICALS TO CLEAN YOUR BRONZE.

We can not be held responsible for what happens once the bronze leaves our facility. If you have followed the correct cleaning procedures and still find your bronze in need of attention, we can only assume that it has been cared for improperly or vandalized.
