How long does it take to complete a memorial?
The length of time necessary to complete your memorial will depend on the type of memorial you choose, the color of granite that has been selected, the level of design work required, and the time of year that the order is placed. Our flat markers are generally ready to be delivered to the cemetery within 90 days from the order date. Larger, more intricate designs will take longer.

Should I use birth and death years only or complete dates?
This decision is based on the amount of space that is available on your memorial with your chosen design. If there is sufficient space, then you may be more specific with information, such as month, day, and year, to offer more detailed information on the memorial. In most cases, there is no additional charge for the more detailed inscription if it is chosen at the time of purchase of the memorial.

What type of material should the memorial be made of?
Some cemeteries have specific guidelines regarding the style, shape and stones allowed. Our memorials are made from quality granite and bronze. Granite is available in many colors, and can be shaped and styled to a beautiful design that fits within the guidelines.
