Are you looking for something to do with the brass shells that were given to your family following a military burial?  Our craftsmen have come up with a beautiful and lasting tribute that will transform the fired brass shells into a polished and personalized memory and memento to honor your loved ones sacrifice to our country.  We take great pride in honoring the service your loved one has made for our great country and freedom.  We provide this service for families of fallen soldiers that are honored with a three-volley salute at their funeral (not to be confused with a 21 gun salute, which is artillery!).  In most cases, the organization that provided the military honors at the funeral service (American Legion, VFW, and other veteran organizations) will provide the family with the empty shell casings fired during the ceremony.  You will send them in to us where we will carefully handle them and process them to look their best.  We begin by polishing them in our media small batch tumbler until they are shiny and new looking.  We then take them to our precision engraving machine and mark them with a dark black engraving that contrasts very well with the polished brass with your choice of text.  The result is a beautiful memento that can be distributed to family and loved ones to forever remind them of your lost loved one, and the ceremony honoring their life and service.
