Shaped:
Done by sandblasting, the outline of the design is cut
into the surface and the interior elements are
shaped by hollowing out certain areas to create a relief look to the design.
Often referred to as "Floral Carving" this
customization is generally used for flowers and the
leaves of plants and trees.
Flat:
Also done by sandblasting, but as the name infers , no
hollowing is done when flat carving. The outline
and some features are cut directly into the surface to
reveal the design or flower in one dimension.
Sculptured or Hand Carved:
Like the McLean
memorial shown to the right, this type of carving is cut
into the surface of the stone in "bas relief".
Done by a sculptor, the shape of the image can be
touched and the depth can be felt. An image can be
sculpted within a recessed area "niche" or sculpted out of the
whole stone to provide a 3-dimensional "full round" design.
Over the years, Fox-Becker has been chosen by area
families to produce many fine memorials of all types of
hand carved designs.
