Frequently Asked Questions

1. What causes bronze markers to turn bluish-green?
   
   
   A:

   Natural weathering of your bronze memorial produces a coating known as patina.
   
   Patina is a natural oxidation process which occurs as bronze ages, and causes your memorial to change color; most frequently a rich verde green.
   
   With procedures now available, existing bronze markers can return its original finish, bringing you the satisfaction of renewed beauty for the memory of those you love.



2. How can I improve the appearance of my bronze marker and make it easier for my family to find it?
   
   
   A: In the past, many families were not aware that a granite base could be added to their memorial.
   
   As a result, many memorials were purchased on a concrete foundation or with no foundation at all.
   
   Over the years, the concrete has deteriorated and the memorials have been lost in grassy overgrowths.
   
   With the simple addition of a granite foundation to your memorial, you can create a more dignified appearance and give your memorial permanent protection against damage or deterioration.
   
   The granite foundation provides a picture frame for your memorial and actually enlarges its size and stature.
