Engraving & Add-ons across Tennessee, 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.
Across Tennessee, engraving & add-ons is delivered through our South network, so you get one clear point of contact and a crew coordinated to your cemetery — with nearby hubs in Florida, Oklahoma, South Carolina supporting scheduling across the region.
We work with monuments purchased from any retailer — not just our own family of brands — and every visit in Tennessee is documented with photos so distant families can see the work was done correctly and respectfully.

Inscriptions and medallions on veterans’ graves in Tennessee
VA's National Cemetery Administration lists 6 cemeteries in Tennessee: 3 open for new burials, 3 open for cremated remains only and 0 with no new gravesites (closed). VA also lists 5 grant-funded state or tribal veterans cemeteries in Tennessee.
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.

“They handled everything with our mother’s monument — delivery, cemetery coordination, installation and photos afterward. We live in another state, so knowing it was set correctly and respectfully meant the world to us.”
