Memorial Options for Your Loved One

While it is never easy to let go of a loved one, it is an inevitable part of life that our time here is not infinite.

They will always be a part of your heart, and having a final resting place to visit and embrace these memories is an important part of the grieving process.

Industries We Work With

Although granite has been utilized by man for thousands of years, including part of the Great Pyramid of Giza, it wasn’t until the late 19th century that it’s beauty and durability really began to be put to use. This was mostly due to the strength of the stone and the inability of stoneworkers to work with the stone in the way that they wanted because their tools were unable to carve and shape the granite. The rock was just too dense! Following the innovation of stonemasonry tools, all of this changed. Granite became the choice stone for headstones and memorials, and over the years, multiple other industries began to the many ways that granite could be used.

The Architect’s Stone

Although granite has been used for thousands of years by mankind as a building material, it hasn’t been until recently that people have realized just how beautiful and durable it is. And although the stone is over a billion years old, it has a very modern appeal to it when utilized creatively. As a granite company in Ontario originating in 1929, HGH understands the diverse applications of granite.

It all began with our ancestor, Henry George Hardwick, producing memorials from a small building on Ottawa street. And over the past 90 years, we have seen constant innovation in the ways that the stone is used. While we still provide custom stonework to memorial retailers, we’ve also branched out to a multitude of clientele that use granite in a variety of ways. Municipalities, landscapers, and even the art community have begun to see just how special granite is, and the beauty that it emanates. Yet, one type of client has just recently begun using granite more than any other stone: architects.

In this post, we’ll be discussing why granite has become the architect’s preferred stone when creating beautiful architectural features, and how the billion-year-old stone is finally getting to show its creative side.
