In their “spare” time on 90 degree days, Ron and Derek are caught uprighting old marble veterans markers that years and vandals haven’t been kind to. So proud of their patriotism, hard work and generosity in doing these random acts of kindness. Thanks, guys, for all you do to earn Kellogg Memorials an outstanding reputation ❤️

Our son scarcely had time to get off the plane before he started work at Kellogg Memorials, much less have any time to transition from Army life to a regular civilian again! We’re so happy to have him lettering in the field. Be sure to say hello if you see he and Ron out in area cemeteries these next couple of weeks!

Did you know that deceased veterans are eligible to receive a veteran’s marker at no charge? The marker shows their name, rank, branch of service and dates of birth and death. There are other things that can be included as well. Please see your local funeral director for more info or stop at one of our locations with your loved one’s DD-214.

For , one may add an Emblem of Belief (EOB) when ordering a headstone or marker for a deceased Veteran.

An emblem of belief for inscription on a government headstone or marker is an emblem or symbol that represents the sincerely held belief of the decedent that constituted a religion or the functional equivalent of religion and was believed and/or accepted as true by that individual during his or her life. The belief represented by an emblem need not be associated with or endorsed by a group or organization.

No graphics (logos, symbols, etc.) are permitted on Government-furnished headstones or markers other than the available emblems of belief, the Civil War Union Shield, the Civil War Confederate Southern Cross of Honor, and the Medal of Honor insignias.

Emblems of belief for inscription on Government headstones and markers do not include social, cultural, ethnic, civic, fraternal, trade, commercial, political, professional or military emblems. VA will not inscribe any emblem on a headstone or marker that would have an adverse impact on the dignity and solemnity of cemeteries honoring those who served the nation.

Five Components of pricing your Memorial.
Let's talk color!
There are as many colors of granite as there are colors of the rainbow. Having said that, some are much better suited for granite countertops than granted memorials. The color of granite has everything to do with where it is quarried from. The only North American black granite. For instance, is the one called Blackmist from Pennsylvania.
There are a number of imported granites with colors that are very unique, But you should ask about their durability and quality.

Grade Quality and Warranty
There is a Difference in granites, granite and other Stone materials come out of the Earth in varying quality grades.
This is determined by the stones overall appearance, color pattern consistency, mineral content and density. Out of all the granite quarried by Rock of Ages only very small percentage meets the stringent quality standards necessary to produce a branded Rock of Ages memorial with warranty. These memorials are branded good, better and best.

Do you prefer a shape carving over a flat carving. Are you given the opportunity to customize the monument as much as you wish or are there restrictions by the cemetery? Designs at Kellogg's memorials are a flat rate depending on the level of detail in size of the handstone. lettering is priced by the number and size of the characters.
, however the bulk of the cost is in the granite itself.
