"The Sandblast Engraving Process
The monument then goes to the Engraving Department where the fascinating artistic process of carving symbols and letters in granite is accomplished. First, liquid glue is applied to the surface so that a sheet of rubber-like stencil will bond to the granite securely. While the glue dries, the stencil is carefully spread then pressed onto the polished surfaces. In the meantime, a draftsman has been preparing a pattern or "layout" of the exact size and contour of the monument. He has used a thin tracing paper in making this "full size detail" which will contain the family name, inscriptions, floral or other design. Metal letters of proportioned sizes have been selected form the variety of lettering styles available. As the paper is rubbed with a flat object, the carbon will imprint the letters on the backside. The draftsman now layouts the carved floral design. This requires an artistic talent for he must be exact in every minute detail in getting the correct size leaves and flowers or other ornamentation in proportion to the size memorial to be carved. ..."
