Our In-House Design Process for Sheridan Orders
Every Sheridan headstone monument order includes a detailed design proof before any granite or bronze is engraved. Hoffman Monuments uses the top designing platform available in the industry, developed by a Wyoming native. Our design image is of the exact granite color, and will be built exactly how the monument appears on the design proof. This allows your family to review the layout, lettering, artwork, and other personalized elements before production begins.
Our design process includes:
- Initial design proof showing layout, lettering style, and photo or artwork elements
- Review of the proposed design with our team
- Revisions to ensure the design reflects your family’s wishes
- Final approval before engraving begins
We understand that selecting a memorial is an important decision. Our goal is to make the design process straightforward while giving you the opportunity to review every detail before work begins.
Headstone Lettering and Engraving Options
Headstone lettering for a Sheridan memorial can include names, dates, epitaphs, religious or military symbols, and laser-etched photo portraits. Custom artwork can also be incorporated into a monument to create a more personal tribute.
Families may choose artwork featuring wildlife, mountain scenes, hobbies, military service, family traditions, or other meaningful elements. These details can be incorporated into the design proof for your review before engraving.
For families who want to explore different styles, we can share examples of completed monument work during your design consultation so you can get a better idea of available finishes, lettering styles, and design options.
Headstone Restoration and Cleaning
If an existing family monument is showing signs of wear, restoration may be an option instead of replacing the entire memorial.
Our monument services can include cleaning, restoration, re-setting markers that have shifted or sunk, and refreshing worn lettering. We can evaluate the condition of an existing monument and help determine whether restoration or replacement is the better option.
