Our Hand-Carving Process

Every angel headstone produced in our Morris County workshop follows a six-stage process that has guided Angel Memorials craftsmen for over 80 years. First, we meet with your family to gather details about your loved one and your vision for the memorial — dimensions, figure style, lettering, and any personal symbols that carry meaning. Second, our designers produce a scaled drawing that shows every element in its correct proportion, which you review and approve before any work begins. Third, the approved design is transferred to the selected granite slab using a precise template, ensuring that the carved areas align exactly with the polished face and the finished edges. Fourth, our artisans begin hand-carving the angel figure using both pneumatic tools and traditional hand chisels, working from the rough silhouette inward to finer details — the feathers of the wings, the drape of fabric, the expression of the face. Fifth, the carved surfaces are finished — some left with a natural matte texture that catches light softly, others polished to a high mirror sheen for contrast. Sixth, the completed stone is inspected, crated, transported to the cemetery, and installed by our crew directly on the prepared foundation. We photograph the installed monument and share the image with your family.
