Description:

35+ Years of Handmade Memorial Monuments:

Hawkstone Memorials Ltd. was founded in 2018 by Vlad and Yaroslava after 35 years of experience in  monument craftsmanship, having competed thousands of memorials.

Vlad is a third generation European memorial builder. He started making memorials by hand as an apprentice in his family’s workshop in Knezha, Bulgaria, receiving the knowledge of the craft from his grandfather and father from a young age. He crafted monuments by the techniques his family taught him, carving them out of raw stone material and etching the designs and letterings by hand with a chisel and hammer. In Alberta, Canada, Vlad was lucky to learn new, modern techniques from the best in the industry before they retired. Over more than three decades he completed many beautiful memorials in Europe and all around Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan that have allowed families to, remember their loved ones honourably and respectfully. He continued to create monuments using established European techniques combined with modern North American technologies.

Yaroslava received an arts degree from the High School for Fine and Applied Arts in Smolyan, Bulgaria and later a master’s degree in fine arts from the University of Varna, Bulgaria. She worked in the arts field as an animator. Currently she puts her love of painting and drawing onto designing and making monuments with Vlad, drawing art on granite and making porcelains.
