Sawyer's Little Orchard: A Barn-Inspired Memorial for a Child

This custom-designed memorial was created as a tribute to a young boy’s memory through a barn-inspired concept — featuring a red granite structure that resembles the timeless charm of a little red barn and a striking black granite silo as its poetic counterpart. The warm, rustic hue of the barn contrasts with the deep, reflective black of the silo, which bears a carefully etched poem for the child. Each rendering played a crucial role in helping the family visualize and finalize design choices swiftly, making the process emotionally grounding and visually clear. The final result blends tradition, symbolism, and craftsmanship — delivering a personal tribute that’s both bold and deeply tender.
