Tombstone Tuesday - Monument Artist in Iowa: Roy Dixon



His site says: "The artwork on these stones was all done by hand using engraving tools, chisels and scribing tools. Hand etching is much more artistic and allows me to do things that can't be done with the laser. A simple way to put it would be... The laser is like a scanner and printer, while a hand etched monument is more like a painting."

Roy Dixon's Monument and Memorial Studio and Shops are Located at 1500 Osborn Street in Burlington, Iowa. You can view his site at: http://www.themonumentartist.com/index.html

  2. Absolutely beautiful! I wish I'd known of him when my mother passed! But, she has a beautiful headstone anyway.
