Since the dawn of time we have paid tribute to our deceased loved ones with monuments.
They reflect many years of warmth and affection and are a tangible expression of love.

We at the A.W. Rich Funeral Home believe that memorialization speaks out as a voice from yesterday and today to ages yet unborn.

A memorial is the only purchase you will ever make that is designed to last forever. Therefore, we choose to have the memorials created for our families by Granite Industries of Vermont.

The first thing to look for is a stone that will remain beautiful over the years. The stones we purchase are from the “granite center of the world” in Barre, Vermont. The quality of the granite and the workmanship are unparalleled, as it should be, since they will need to withstand years of outdoor elements.

The granite is quarried, sawed, polished, sandblasted with beautiful designs and names and then carved by skilled sculptors from around the world. We also specialize in beautiful and detailed etchings for families. Diamond tipped etching tools assist specially gifted artisans in etching custom and detailed scenes, portraits, etc. in a custom jet black granite.

You and your family decide the style, etching photos, shape and personalization of the monument. We make all the arrangements and then have your memorial stone placed at the resting place of your choice. We also offer memorial stone cleaning and lettering of final dates on existing memorials at the cemetery as needed. Please contact us at (802) 849-6261 or through our website. Contact us should you have any questions or be interested in further information regarding memorial stones.
