Engraving & Add-ons across Pennsylvania, coordinated from first call to final photo
Add new dates, names and details to an existing monument, or personalize a new one. Our engraving team works both on-site at the cemetery and in-shop, using laser and sandblast etching for inscriptions, portraits, medallions and even QR codes. Send close-up photos so the team can assess the existing lettering and agree a suitable approach.
In Pennsylvania, engraving & add-ons is supported by our 1 showroom and warehouse location in Essington. These are listed locations, not a promise of shorter lead times or lower charges. Confirm access, crew availability and the full scope for your cemetery before booking.
We work with monuments purchased from any retailer — not just our own family of brands — and every visit in Pennsylvania is documented with photos so distant families can see the work was done correctly and respectfully.

Inscriptions and medallions on veterans’ graves in Pennsylvania
VA's National Cemetery Administration lists 4 cemeteries in Pennsylvania: 3 open for new burials, 0 open for cremated remains only and 1 with no new gravesites (closed). VA also lists 1 grant-funded state or tribal veterans cemetery in Pennsylvania.
A government medallion may be provided for eligible Veterans who served on or after April 6, 1917 and whose grave is marked with a privately purchased headstone or marker.

VA does not pay to affix that medallion to a privately purchased headstone in a non-national cemetery; it delivers the medallion to the applicant.
Source: 38 CFR 38.630
A government headstone or marker should not be altered. VA may replace it to change or add inscription details when the next of kin ask within six months of the original being provided.

“The deep cleaning and leveling completely transformed the family plot. The before-and-after photos were incredible, and now the stone looks like it did when it was first installed. We’re very grateful for the care they showed.”
