DAVID | LARGE PROJECT SPECIALIST<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legacy over loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

David Fournier is a 35-year stonework veteran. He began his career as a monument drafting apprentice, going on to work on mausoleums and architectural pieces, before becoming a member of the Rock of Ages\u2019 Large Project and Special Features Design Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An eternal optimist, David sees no sadness in his job, but rather gratification in designing a place where others can go to honor those who are no longer with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having grown up around the memorial industry, it has always felt familiar to him, almost natural. It is not about the loss of a loved one, it\u2019s about celebrating their existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now a proud grandfather, he hopes to share with his offspring the importance of doing something fulfilling such as aiding people in their grieving process. For David, capturing the essence of a legacy in his design is about making that life everlasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
