Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions families ask during this journey. You’ll find information about timelines, payment options, working with cemeteries, material choices, and more.

Memorials represent the legacy of the family or individual they are made for. Often times it is easier to gain an accurate picture of that legacy as well as take the pressure off family members during times of grief if they are purchased pre-need.

Regulations and restrictions are determined by each cemetery and the cities in which they are located. Sometimes they even vary within the same cemetery. We generally recommend checking on cemetery regulations before purchasing a marker or at the time of purchasing a plot. Some only allow flush markers while others allow the full range of custom memorials.

It is not necessary to purchase a memorial in the event of cremation and marking the grave is completely up to you and your family. However, we recommend obtaining a memorial or marker of some kind for reflection and closure. There are many types of memorials that hold cremains such as benches, monuments, some slant markers, and columbaria.

On average it takes one-to-six months to produce and deliver a memorial depending on the season and availability of granite. Most cemeteries will have the ground prepared and the foundation poured before the delivery.

The investment you make in a memorial varies greatly and depends on many factors such as size, shape, granite type, availability, and the detail of design work that goes into the production of the memorial. If you are curious to know some exact figures, we recommend filling out a quote form and talking with a representative.

We regularly work with cemeteries across the country. If your loved one is buried out of state, we can still design and produce the monument here, then coordinate shipping and installation with the cemetery. Our team will handle the logistics to ensure a smooth and respectful process.

Yes, many families choose double monuments or shared family memorials with space for multiple names and dates. When the time comes, we can return to the site and add inscriptions that match the original style and lettering. This service is known as final date engraving or inscription matching.

A Gentle Way to Remember

The soft rise of a slant marker offers more than visibility—it invites quiet moments of connection, remembrance, and healing. We believe that the shape of a memorial can reflect the spirit of a life, and slant markers do so with gentle reverence and quiet strength.
