Guaranteeing Your Granite Purchase

"Elberton claims the title "Granite Capital of the World," annually producing more granite products than any other city in the world. The city's post-Civil War history has largely revolved around the industry, following the opening of the first commercial quarry and manufacturing plant by Dr. Nathaniel Long in 1889. As the industry grew in the early 1900s, so did Elberton's importance on the passenger and freight railroad lines, bringing many travelers and businessmen to the city and leading to its heyday." - Wikipedia

Supplying such large amounts of granite requires a skilled labor pool, expansive manufacturing plants and a system that can ensure quality control and the guarantee that granite monuments are free from any material defects including manufacturing and workmanship.

Century Granite Company Inc. guarantees that all stones manufactured in our plant will be free of defects, hidden or apparent, in the granite or the workmanship. Components of the monument, whether granite or non-granite, if any, not manufactured by Century, are separately guaranteed for a period of one year from the date of purchase. Century Granite Co., Inc. will replace or re-work, free to the purchaser, any part or parts which are found to be defective in either material or workmanship. Century hand selects the best granite available and employs highly skilled craftsmen to provide our customers with the highest quality in materials and workmanship. This guarantee is provided to protect our customers against any defects in material or fault in workmanship. 

To help further the granite monument industry, the Elberton Granite Association was formed in 1951. The E.G.A. still welcomes granite manufacturers today. As an E.G.A. member, and at the customers request, an "E.G.A. Certified Memorial" can be guaranteed against any defects in workmanship or materials by the Elberton Granite Association, Inc., of Elberton, Georgia. 

Once the certification process is requested, an independent quality-control inspector is called in to verify that the material and workmanship of the Certified Memorial meets industry standards of quality. This guarantee offers to correct or replace any certified memorial, or defective part, if the defects are due to material or workmanship of the granite.
