What types of artwork and accessories can be added to a memorial?

We offer a range of personalized additions including laser etching, hand-etched artwork, ceramic photo discs, granite vases, and cast bronze accents. These details allow families to create a memorial that reflects the life, personality, and values of their loved one.

Can artwork be customized for each family?

Yes, every design is created specifically for the family. We work with you to incorporate meaningful images, symbols, or themes that feel personal and appropriate.

What is the difference between laser etching and hand etching?

Laser etching allows for highly detailed, photo-like images that capture fine detail. Hand etching offers a more traditional look with depth and texture, often used for classic or artistic designs.

Will the artwork last over time?

When applied to monument-grade granite using proper techniques, artwork is designed to remain clear and durable for decades. Granite’s natural strength helps preserve the detail even through harsh weather conditions.

Can accessories be added later?

In many cases, yes, accessories such as vases or photo discs can be added after installation. We can help determine what is possible based on the existing memorial and cemetery guidelines.

What colors of granite can I choose from?

We keep 12 colors of stone in our shop. This includes black, rose, and grey. We can also order special colors if you have something else in mind.

Memorial Artwork & Accessories

At Lons Memorials, we understand that every memorial should be as unique as the person it honors. Our artwork and accessories service focuses on the thoughtful details that set each monument apart. From in-house crafted silk flower saddles to custom bronze accents, granite vases, and ceramic photo discs, we help families in Belleville, Quinte West, and across Eastern Ontario create a truly personal tribute. Our team works closely with you to match existing fonts, select from twelve granite colors, and add special touches that reflect your loved one’s story. Whether you are updating an existing headstone or commissioning a new monument, our accessories and artwork options provide the finishing layer of care, ensuring every memorial stands as a dignified and enduring symbol of remembrance.

With over 70 years serving Belleville and a legacy that stretches back to 1908, Lons Memorials brings unmatched expertise to every accessory and artwork service we offer. All silk flower saddles are crafted in-house, allowing us to maintain high standards and provide seasonal or custom arrangements on request. Our accessories are selected for durability and compatibility with monument-grade granite, ensuring quality that endures Ontario’s climate. Families appreciate our straightforward, honest approach, our local roots, and our willingness to go the extra mile, including minor spot work requests or help with cemetery-specific regulations in Quinte West, Prince Edward County, and Haliburton. We always use environmentally safe materials and never pressure you into decisions. Instead, we focus on representing memories with care and professionalism.

Our process is clear and supportive from start to finish. You can visit our indoor showroom directly across from Belleville Cemetery to view examples of bronze plaques, ceramic portraits, granite vases, and our range of silk flower saddles. Our staff will guide you through options, explaining how each accessory integrates with different monument styles: upright, flat, pillow, or bench. Custom artwork, such as hand-etched imagery or lithochrome color details, is completed in-house. For families seeking to add to an existing memorial, we match fonts and finishes, ensuring a seamless appearance. Installation is handled personally by our team, with every accessory anchored and secured according to cemetery regulations. We also offer seasonal flower saddle swaps and provide advice about restrictions or requirements at local cemeteries from Tweed to Cobourg.

Choosing the right accessories and artwork is about more than decoration. It is about honoring a life and creating a place for families to return year after year. At Lons Memorials, our commitment does not end at installation. We provide ongoing support, from cleaning and restoring bronze or granite accents to offering new floral arrangements for special occasions. Our Belleville team is always available to answer questions, help with cemetery guidelines, or recommend the best way to enhance an existing headstone. As a locally owned and operated business, our promise is to stand by our work, to represent your memories with honesty and care, and to help families throughout Eastern Ontario create memorials that endure.
