Why online? A funeral
today is an expense that can be overwhelming during an emotional crisis. The monument is the final step in this
process. Often many families arrive at
this step in financial distress. We are here to offer a solution. Let us walk you through what you would need
to do to consider if this might be an option for your needs.
First these are the dimensions for this monument. The color, style and finish are
included. In monuments all of these are
important and affect the cost of the item.
In addition, you will need these when consulting your cemetery for
requirements.
13 x 10 x 3” - Gray – Flat marker often referred to as flush
or grass marker- Polished top – natural rock edges
First step- contact your cemetery for all restrictions
concerning your plot. This can include
but not limited to material, style, size, color, design and more including
foundation and design approval. Some
cemeteries have a form they want filled out that shows the monument specifics,
so it is assured to meet restrictions.
The graphic we send in the design process will have all information
needed to fill this out and our customers handle this step. Many cemeteries
will construct a foundation. Address this in your contact. Make sure you get the name of the person you
consult with and a delivery contact with a direct phone number for the freight Carrier.
Do not purchase a monument before you
contact the cemetery. These are the
steps that save you 2-3 times and even more what our cost is you will pay on
this listing. A local retailer will do
all these and if you need that service we are not an option.
Placement/installation is often referred to as setting. You are responsible for setting and any
foundation requirements. Many of our
customers set smaller stones (great YouTube videos on setting). This can be
contracted. A funeral home that sells
stones is a great resource to find a setter. Some cemeteries, many burial vault
companies are now offering this service.
Even monument dealers will set-although just as pricy on this as their
stones.
With this completed you can feel confident purchasing a
stone.

Our designer will collect and create a graphic for your
review and approval. This is sent here
in eBay. We only communicate in eBay. There are no phone calls. All communication is in writing for your
review at any time. We do not create art
prior to purchase. If a cemetery requires design approval simply hold your approval
until they do. Rejection by cemetery for
any reason other than restrictions that should have been addressed in prior
contact will be refunded 100%. Refunds
for restrictions buyer did not ascertain prior to order will have design time
subtracted. We do not engrave until you approve.
Engraving- We flash panels on gray stones in double process
sandblast carving. This creates the best contrast for visibility on a gray
stone. The double process carving creates crisp cut text. An extra step to
ensure every monument represents our work and the honor given us by the
customer to memorialize a life. Standing for eternity we take this honor very
seriously. Markers are carved to depth
approx. 3/8” and filled with best in class stone paint. Our engraving process
from approved design is normally 3-4 weeks to ship. If you need this sooner, you can contact us
for quote. You will pay overtime rate for
our people to process your stone after normal working hours. We will never
place your order in front of an order placed earlier and process during regular
working hours. Expect this to add significant costs to your monument.
Shipping is USPS priority.
A ship notice will be automatically sent by eBay with a tracking
number.
Damage- while less than 1% this does happen. Inspect as soon
as this is delivered. If damaged send us a picture of the Monument and we will
handle filing the claim and carve a replacement. With less than 1% and thousands of these
shipped this way, we will not change from our process as this keeps the monument
at the best price possible.
