A memorial gravestone is a private temple.It is merely a symbolic object until is charged with the will to become transcendental.We give it the spiritual power to become somewhat real.Memorial gravestones are there to inspire an empathetic healing energy that calms and gives new meaning to the ones that remain.
THE COMMISSION PROCESS
I place my clients in the center of my activity. I am committed to their wishes by expressing their ideas and producing them onto the stone with my best artistic integrity. My intention is that the resulting artwork is faithful to what is originally planned for and hopefully even exceed our expectations
INITIAL PLANNING
A brief list of points to consider will help us identify the details that are important to you. To make your ideas more clear, we accommodate a consultation and make sketches until desired design is achieved.
FINANCIAL RANGE
It is always a good idea to have in mind your financial framework, so that I can accommodate to it accordingly. It is very difficult to name a set price since it depends on many variables such as choice of stone, installation and design complexity.
PROPOSAL COST
Once a clear idea has been conceived, I will make the sketches to choose from and formulate the cost for the final project. We will also discuss choice of stone and timeframe. There is a set fee for this initial work.
COMPLETION
When you are completely happy with the design, I will ask you to sign a copy of the drawings and a commission contract. One half of the total agreed cost will be due, and final payment when the piece is done and ready to install.
Installation is discussed and arranged with each individual project.
