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.
Granite- Black- quarried in India engraved in Ohio
Top- 42 x 8 x 24” – Polished all surfaces
Base– 48 x 12 x 8” polished top 2" margin balance is natural rock.
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 use the local
retailer.
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 stone 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.

Engraving- Black granite we skin cut depth engraving. Example
would be the Vietnam War memorial. On black this will contrast best with paint
fill or natural color dark gray. Standing for eternity we take this honor very seriously.
