WHAT TO EXPECT
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Single upright headstone​
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I ORDER A HEADSTONE?
There are three main steps:
1. Sharing – You talk with us about your loved one and what you have in mind for the headstone. This can be in person, by phone, or email.
2. Design – We work with you to create the headstone’s design. We’ll make changes until it feels just right to you.
3. Fulfillment – We make the headstone and place it where it belongs in the cemetery.

​
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
The price depends on three things:
-
What the headstone is made of (granite, marble, or bronze)
-
Its size
-
Its shape
Granite comes in different colors, and some colors cost more. Special shapes or extras like vases, pictures, or extra wording will also add to the price.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
The first two steps (Sharing and Design) usually take 2 to 3 weeks.
After that, making the headstone takes:​
-
4 to 6 months for regular gray granite
-
Up to 12 months for special colors or shapes
Every headstone is different, so times can vary.
HOW DO I PAY?
-
We give free price estimates.
-
To start on the design, we ask for a $50 deposit.
-
We will order the materials once half has been paid, and finish the work after full payment.
You can make partial payments. We take cash, check, card, or online payments.
All our monument sales come with a free 20-year warranty for re-leveling, and 5-year warranty for repainting.
