We express our condolences to the many people of the USA for the loss of a notable civil rights activist, Congressman John Lewis. Representative John Lewis fulfilled many key roles in the civil rights movement and took actions to end legalized racial segregation in the United States. He will be remembered as a hero by many. U.S. Rep. John Lewis died at age 80 on July 17 2020. He has been honoured in myriad memorials, Celebration of Life ceremonies and public viewings.
“Lewis – They walked where no one else had not gone,” says the inscription on the Lewis’ family monument. We were truly honoured to have been chosen by Mr John Lewis and his family, for the development of the central commemoration piece for him and his wife Mrs Lilian Miles Lewis, whom Mr Lewis has now joined. Together with our partner Mart Clamp (Clamp Sandblast, Atlanta), we were able to create and install a beautiful composition of glass and granite.
May he and his wife rest in peace, we pray.

Shipping and delivery
As soon as the glass memorial is ready, we share photos/videos with you for evaluation, prepare it for shipment and make installation instructions. We survey logistics companies to find and offer you the best delivery option. We can do the survey as soon as we know the delivery address and the exact configuration of the shipment - size and weight. We have established successful cooperation with transportation companies in various countries, but we are also open to collaboration with other logisticians, which you propose and choose! |

Production duration
The production of glass monuments lasts from 30 workdays. It mainly depends on the complexity of the design and the ongoing workload during the particular period. The work volume is usually highest during spring, whereby the production time is the most extended, starting from ~45 workdays. Therefore, we advise ordering a glass monument timely. For example, if you wish to install the memorial in spring/summer, then - autumn/winter is the best time to make the order. |

Granite base and other stone elements
You may choose to develop the granite base and stone elements with your local stonemasons or us. Making them locally will save you the shipping costs, and the stonemasons may prepare the ground and install the base as soon as it is ready. On rare occasions, making the stone parts with us will be the only option. This applies to designs where the stone and glass have to be very closely fitted (e.g. inlay of stone in glass monument or glass in boulder). |
