How can I get into the memorial business?

One product that engraving professionals can create is marble and granite plaques. Almost all of us already have the capability of using lasers to create plaques and are doing so. Plaques may be mounted horizontally or vertically.

Headstones come in all sizes, such as 4″ X 7″ X 2″ and up in size. You can certainly work with headstones, at least the smaller ones. Another product that is well within reach is a cremation memorial or urn. Then there is the ever-popular pet memorial.

Keepsakes and memento items are also a good option for memorial sales and are probably something you already engrave regularly. A cremation pendant is another great option for the laser engraver.
