- Finishes | Gofus Memorials
Finishes Polished Granite Rock Pitched Granite Sawn Sided Granite POLISHED SURFACES are smooth and shiny. After granite blocks are quarried, they are sawn into slabs of the desired thickness. The sawn surfaces are then polished firstly with a coarse abrasive, then successively finer abrasives until perfectly smooth. The final shiny finish is achieved with a buffing process that uses an extremely fine abrasive. Most monuments have at least some polished areas. ROCK PITCHED are rough, rock surfaces that have been pitched by hand using a hammer and chisel to achieve a finished, consistent rock effect. SAWN SIDES are smooth, but may have lines in the finish from the saw blade, and are generally used only for surfaces that will not be visible after the monument is installed. AXED PATTERNS are a wide variety of smooth and textured patterns made by pneumatic hammers and steel chisels. If a surface must be smooth but it cannot be sawed to that shape, it is usually axed by a skilled stone cutter. SHELL ROCK SURFACES are hand-cut, rustic surfaces with a strong, scalloped or dish shaped appearance, cut by a skilled cutter with a hammer and chisels. STEELED SURFACES are smooth surfaces that have been sandblasted using steel shot, which gives a bright, white, textured finish.

- Benches | Gofus Memorials, Inc. | United States
Benches Benches are a great way to remember and pay tribute to friends, loved ones or associates, fellow workers, classmates, or golf partners. They are available simply as memorial park benches, or as repositories for cremated remains. Memorial benches make great donations for parent teacher organizations for recognizing teachers or remembering students. Local clubs can recognize past presidents, members for years of service, or get recognized for donating benches or other products to the community. Veteran organizations find that benches and memorial plaque bases are great on and around war memorials. Contact us to set-up an appointment for your memorial planning consultation.

- Granite Slant and Bevel | Gofus Memorials, Inc. | United States
Granite Slants & Bevel Memorials EVEL MARKERS - A bevel marker, sometimes called a pillow marker because of the gently sloping angle of the face, is a raised marker that rests above the ground. Like a flat marker, it sets flat at the grave site. The back of the grave marker is slightly higher than the front, making it more visible in a cemetery than a flat marker and can be finished with a wider variety of style and design options. Like flat markers, bevel markers come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and are set on a concrete foundation. SLANT MARKERS - A slant marker is usually 12 – 16 inches tall. While not tall enough to be considered an upright monument, a slanted grave marker has a wider base that slants towards the back presenting an upward profile that stands out in a cemetery because the granite is cut to sit at a steep angle. It can be placed on a solid granite base or installed directly on a poured concrete foundation. These markers can be finished with rough sides and top or with any number of sides polished.
