Laser Design

Central Texas Memorial has been producing our own laser designed monuments since 2004. Before a lasered monument is created, an image must be input or designed in our computer program. This is a very tedious and time intensive process; however, once our artists have created an image, we can duplicate it as many times as needed. The most common color used for laser etching is Premium Black. Premium Black produces the cleanest laser photos and designs one can find. Other colors, such as Catseye Red and Dark Cloud, have proven to work well with laser; those colors show laser artwork very nicely but are not recommended for laser photos. Laser monuments are becoming more and more common in cemeteries. One question often asked is, “How long will the laser design last?” Laser, like sandblast, puts a break in the polish and exposes the raw stone beneath. The laser heats the stone and removes the polish where sandblast cuts into the stone therefore removing the polish. Unless the monument loses its polish or is re-polished the laser design will last for many years to come.

Central Texas Memorial made my husband's headstone. Its absolutely beautiful. Blue Opal and how it shines and sparkles as his smile and personality did in life. So many people have stopped by during one of my graveside visits and commented on it and where I bought it from. The girl in the office kept in contact with me during the course of it going made giving me updates and called to tell me it had been completed and was being installed that day. I appreciated that so much. I thank you.

Took my only Saturday off. Drove on this extremely rainy day to look for a headstone for my mom. Arrived at 10:30 only to see a sign on the door that said "Closed for vacation". I called before I left my home and got a voicemail that stated they were open today until noon. Very disappointed that I wasted my time!!!
