Monument Inscriptions & Memorial Engraving

Monument Inscriptions & Memorial Engraving

Choosing the right lettering style is an important part of creating a lasting memorial. At Brunet Monuments, we offer a range of engraving options to ensure your inscription reflects both tradition and individuality.

Fonts

We offer a variety of carefully selected monument-appropriate fonts, including:

  • Traditional serif lettering
  • Elegant script styles
  • Classic Roman lettering
  • Modern clean typefaces
  • Custom font matching for existing monuments

If adding an inscription to an older headstone, we carefully replicate the original lettering style to maintain visual consistency.

Styles

Lettering styles can enhance readability and visual impact. Options include:

  • Sandblasted engraving (most common and durable)
  • Deep cut lettering for enhanced shadowing
  • Polished lettering contrasts
  • Painted or highlighted lettering
  • Frosted or shadowed effects

Our team will recommend the best style based on monument material, age, and location.

Languages

We understand that memorials reflect heritage and culture. We are experienced in engraving inscriptions in multiple languages, including:

  • English
  • French
  • Bilingual inscriptions
  • Other languages upon request

Proper spelling, accent marks, and formatting are carefully reviewed prior to engraving.

Symbols & Artwork

Symbols can beautifully complement an inscription and express faith, personality, or legacy.

Popular engraving options include:

  • Crosses and religious emblems
  • Angels and doves
  • Floral designs
  • Hearts and family symbols
  • Military and veteran insignias
  • Custom artwork
  • Pet paw prints for companion memorials

We ensure all artwork is scaled appropriately and integrated seamlessly into the monument design.
