Photo Etching Inserts

Gaydos Monument can etch a treasured photo on to a memorial by using our in-house laser etching machine. 

This state-of-the-art computerized machine can replicate any photo precisely onto a granite monument up to four feet long.* The image is transferred to a robotic arm with a laser attached to it that goes back and forth across the face of the stone creating a detailed etching. By providing this service rather that outsourcing the laser etchings like most granite companies, we are able to save on production time and money, therefore we are able to pass on the savings to our clients. * (Note that the quality of the photo determines the quality of the etching.) 

-Editing, cropping or enlargements of photos and touch-ups can be provided by our art department.

Photos of loved ones can also be laser etched into rectangular, heart-shaped, or oval black granite panels and inserted into any color memorial. The inserts come in a number of sizes and are bonded into recessed panel on your memorial so they cannot be removed.
