Most families haven't done this before, and that's okay. We'll guide you through the entire process—there's nothing you need to figure out on your own.
Initial Consultation
Call us or stop by our office. We'll listen to your needs, answer your questions, and help you understand your options. This conversation is free and there's absolutely no pressure. Take all the time you need.
Usually 30–60 minutes
Design Discussion
Once you have a sense of what you want, we'll work together on the design. We'll show you options for stone colors, lettering styles, and any artwork or symbols you'd like to include. We create a proof for you to review before any work begins.
1–2 weeks
Cemetery Coordination
Every cemetery has specific rules about monument sizes, materials, and placement. We handle all of this for you—obtaining the necessary permits, verifying specifications, and coordinating with cemetery staff.
Varies by cemetery
Crafting Your Memorial
Once the design is approved and the cemetery paperwork is complete, we begin creating your monument. Every detail is checked and double-checked to ensure the finished piece matches your vision exactly.
Typically 8–12 weeks
Installation
We coordinate with the cemetery to schedule installation at a time that works for everyone. Our team handles the entire installation process, ensuring the monument is properly set and leveled.

Questions We Often Hear
How long does the whole process take?
From your first call to installation, most monuments take 10–14 weeks. The timeline depends on design complexity, cemetery processing times, and our current workload. Rush orders are sometimes possible for urgent situations.
When can a monument be installed after burial?
Most cemeteries require the ground to settle for 3–6 months after burial before installing a monument. This ensures a stable foundation. We can begin design work earlier so the monument is ready when the time comes.
Do I need to know exactly what I want before calling?
Not at all. Many families come to us with only a vague idea—or no idea at all. That's what we're here for. We'll help you figure out what makes sense for your family, your budget, and your cemetery.
