Benkert Family Memorial

The Benkerts lost their son Rob to a tragic accident at the age of 26. They made the decision to go ahead and create a family monument. Our local Catholic cemetery allows only one upright monument per lot. Their faith is very important to them. They wanted a simplistic design but liked the combination of straight and curved lines. We suggested American Black Granite. With the tablet in a polished finish and the pillar in a matte finish, it creates a beautiful contrast. Add to that a Strassacker bronze cross with a broken-texture background and a hand-tooled last name, the finished memorial is striking.
