In the spring of 1991 a childhood dream came out of Curt Christman's mind and became a reality. Lewis County Monuments was started and in 2007 the name was changed to North County Memorials Inc. to better facilitate the current vision of serving Northern Ny. Currently Curt and eldest son Christian are in partnership operating the monument business. This small business has endured the ups and downs that all businesses encounter. Come along and enjoy the ride!!

Pay your guy more!!! He needs bigger underwear and cant afford them so his butt crack is well known to the mentally damaged squirells that have seen this crack of death....
Thanks for talking about this topic Christian. Always a good one to cover. When you work with a family, you always expect them to reach back out or purchase that same day. It doesn’t always happen, as you know. Sadly some will go somewhere else in an extreme case for one reason or another. Best thing you can do is make sure to reach out on a set timeline, and do your best to get their business. It’s happened to me plenty of times, best you can do is learn from it! Have a great week.
Always learning.
Keep kids fighting!!!!!😊
You mean fishing right?
@-gravestonepros yes I meant fishing. Lol
@@darrelllucas3237 Lol I feel better now :D
Nice keep a tight line luck luck to ya 🎣 🎣 🎣
Thanks.
I would be sure to leave a timetable for reaching out to a prospective customer so that there is an agreed upon date for reestablishing communication. It's a relationship and should be treated as such to achieve some form of closure.
I think I will try harder to do this in the future.
One of the things we do is visit with funeral homes and their directors and educate them on the process of making a memorial and the length of time it takes to complete. We try to educate them so that they can convey that to their families. If the customer is hoping for a spring time memorial, then ordering one during the winter months is the best time. All of that work can be completed while the cemeteries are frozen and we can't service. But in the spring their memorial is ready to go. Last year, January was our 2nd busiest month of the year. Just some food for thought, seems to have really helped us. Keeping making these awesome videos!
Interesting I have never done very well at getting Funeral homes to partner with us. We have good working relationship but nothing more.
Agreed, Winter is the best time to order. I have so many people come in during the spring to early summer and want their monuments out by the end of the year, which doesn’t always happen! I always encourage people the best time to order is December - February!
@@-gravestoneprosProbably something you should look into, as partnerships like that can lead to monument referrals which mean more sales, something I have.
I work for a monument company in kansas. We haven't had any customers all week. 14 inches of snow at the beginning of the week.
I know the feeling. Snow storm heading our way today.
I love your videos! I appreciate all the hard work you guys do God bless you!
Thank you so much!
Awesome! that's probably 2lbs!
It was 1.9
Love your channel so far man. I’m going for an interview to to sandblasting on memorials soon and your channel has been very informative :)
Thanks! Good luck with the interview!
It's not just a normal bass it's a largemouth bass
True!!
But it is a bass & not a blue gill.
@@Vzlaz nise
14:20 I thought headstones were normally set in place on their bases with rebar & cement connecting the two pieces. When did they start using superglue to hold them in place?
Lol Superglue!! :D The proses used her has been used for over a hundred years.
Ich habe mir jetzt das Video noch einmal angeschaut, okay Ihr seid Maschinisten 😅
Hey thanks for the extra view!! Good to know what to call myself the internet has come through again.
Ehrlich jetzt, Sandstrahlen hat doch nichst mit Gravieren zu tun, , das was ihr macht ist Fließband Arbeit 😅, das Steinmetz Gewerbe ist tot, wenn ich so etwas sehe 😢
I have never called myself a stone mason.
@-gravestonepros dann ist es gut , Steinmetz zu sein ist nicht nur ein Job, sondern eine Berufung, und ich bin verdammt stolz darauf, Alles Gute!
I have never seen your work. But from our conversation I bet you do carful thoughtful work. Blessing and keep up the good work.
Thank you for sharing these stories,I am learning a,lot from them,and I am enjoying watching them😊
Thanks for the kind words I'm glad your learning.
Hey guys love the channel!! Haven’t seen Curt in years!! Looking good!
Thanks.
Love the channel. It shows what it takes to create the monuments that remember our loved ones 😊 You still need to come down to Hollywood Cemetery and check it out.
Glad your still enjoying the channel.
Thank you for standing up for your friend
:D
Hey fellas!!! Hope you both are doing well and your family is well, hey Christian GO PACK GO!!!! tell Brian that 😂😂😂 😂 Darrell Keep making monuments boys
Hey big week for the Pack lets hope its the start of a run!!
I remember starting to watch you guys in the fall of 2021, and you guys have grown a lot as a channel. Thanks for your hard work, and releasing these videos as I’ve said before you guys inspired my new career. Can’t get better than that if you’re trying to make a difference! Looking forward to 2025.
I think it will be a great year. So glad we could inspire you.
I hope this youtube channel will thrive and help you with your business. It’s been great to see your videos and see how things work for y’all!!
I hope so too, we’re always trying to improve!
Please keep the channel as is, REAL Thank you for your time. And your dads wisdom Is end less.
Real is what we are all about.
Keep it up and being who you are. Good family values shows in every video.
Thanks, appreciate you watching.
I enjoy this kind of video very much. Curious to know why you cut out two of the fairs? Just too much work?
Flooding most likely.
It is a lot of work and just did not see the returns lately.
lol after this year!!
Is that 36 grit aluminum oxide? And what about the steel shot? What grit?
Yes it is. I'm not sure Steel Shot has more then one grit.
Black oxide powder will clearly shows the stencil parts
good idea.
Brother...use black oxide powder
Thanks for the tip!
Ich bin seit knapp 50 Jahren Steinmetz und Graveur, und ihr seid weder das eine noch das andere 😅
I would love to know what I am?
Ihr seid keine Handwerker mehr 😊
@@KarlDemuth-k5y if we are not craftsmen what are we TH-camrs?
How wonderful for your mother to get a Steinway. Lots of talent in your family!
She really loved it! its been a dream for so long it was fun seeing her get it.
That was interesting, thank you for putting it up. Always believed the letters were hand chiseled still, never considered sand blasting as a awesome tool. (DUH!)
Hey It was all hand tooled 100 years ago but started to change in 1930s.
There is a small company bing sold that does this business should I buy it is the revenue pretty good a year ? What are things not to do when I get started ?
hey there is a living to be made in this work but hard for me to say if it’s wright for you.
All these videos and I've yet to see an actual etching. These are all made by an engraving tool.
@@grimreaper7198 what do you call etching?
@@-gravestonepros It's not what I call etching. It's what the true definition of etching is. Etching consists of the use of a strong acidic liquid in the process. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etching
Very interesting not sure why but the word etching is used by our industry. I do agree hand engraving would be a more precise way of saying it.
Are there any social media groups that you know of thst have the in cemetery lettering
@@johnjacquard5095 monument builders forum on Facebook is for Monument guys not specifically for final date and engravers.
Are there any Facebook groups you know of fir people tbat add death dates in cemeteries

Great work! In a day, about how many grave markers do you work on?
It depends on the day but 4-12.
Cool
Thanks.
Moving forward time makes money. Love the show. Thank you
Hey thanks for watching I'm glad your enjoy it.
Christian, I actually sold a monument just like that cross one you have this year, parasidio is the color. You gotta be careful with that color, yes because you don’t know how big those black lines are going to be. Been watching now for 3 years! Channel has grown in so many ways. Have a great rest of your year!
Hey thanks for watching. 3 years is a long time I appreciate it.
Should you be able to rock a set head stone and get it to wobble when you push on it?
Not really If you push very hard yes but not with just a small push.
keep up the good work!
Thanks will do. I will text you I just got a email about your stone today.
Hey Christian always enjoy your videos say hi to your Dad and hope you and your family have a happy Thanksgiving!! Also ask Brian how the Bears are doing??? GO PACK GO!!!
