At Emerson Monument Company, we know how important it is to select the best lettering style for your memorial. Afterall, you want the monument to be viewed with ease for decades to come!
Skinning letters into stone is a beautiful engraving process we use when the stone itself has a great deal of natural contrast. It is the process of lightly removing the polished surface to expose the natural, untouched surface below.
Doing this allows the engraved letters to show up beautifully without the addition of paints that will fade over time.
See the examples below to better understand.
