The finish—or polish—of a memorial stone affects both its appearance and how it weathers over time. Common finishes include polished, honed, rock-pitched, and specialized textures used for artistic or custom designs.
A polished finish offers a smooth, reflective surface that enhances color depth and engraving clarity. Honed finishes provide a softer, matte appearance, while rock-pitched or textured finishes create a more natural, handcrafted look. Choosing the right finish helps balance beauty, durability, and personal preference.
