Today is a day set aside to pay homage to our fallen American warriors. Ceremonies will be held in somber places where stone monuments mark the passing of those who have gone before us.
Roberts-Shields Memorial Company on Williams Drive in Northeast Cobb has created granite, marble and bronze tributes since 1898.
President and minority-owner Brook Bolton said that where a fallen hero is interred is the biggest factor in honoring a loved one. VA National Cemetery in Carterville and the Marietta National Cemetery are exclusive to military veterans and their families.
“The Veterans Administration has a flat bronze grave marker they offer to service members,” Bolton said, “What can be engraved on the plaque is restrictive.”
Bolton shared that there are a number of ways to memorialize a family member. Headstones can be personalized with ceramic covered photographs and stone benches and engraved tiles can highlight special places.
Roberts-Shields employs 15 full time staff who wear many hats. Bolton oversees the day-to-day operation of the plant and administrative office. His duties include quality control and loading trucks.
