Abstract

See full text

One aspect of the invention is a method for making a memorial piece. The method includes capturing an initial digital image representative of memorial information. The digital image is edited to create an adjusted digital image, which is then converted to create a three-dimensional image. The three-dimensional image is used to generate a three-dimensional pattern, which in turn is used to generate a mold cavity. At least some memorial information is contained in the mold cavity. A rough casting is formed within the mold cavity such that the memorial information is imparted to the rough casting. The rough casting is then cleaned and prepared. The casting is then oxidized to form a memorial piece with memorial information thereon.
