Education Cornerstone
At PMGW we understand the overwhelming nature of selecting a memorial for a loved one. Due to all the emotional factors, detailed decisions can be difficult to make. In turn to ease/alleviate your mind a little we have created this "Education Corner" to gain knowledge and clarity, before you come in for a meeting or to check into through the process, explaining the different terms, finishes and options that come with choosing the perfect memorial.
The most important aspect to keep in mind is the scale drawing or fullsize drawing process that happens with all of our memorials. This stage allows you to not have to make, or feel you have to make, every absolute decision all at once. The drawing process allows us to show you how the memorial will look and allows us to make numbers of changes before anything is "Cut in Stone." As always we at PMGW will be by your side ready to answer any questions or discus any thoughts/comments you may have about your memorial.
