Frequently Asked Questions
We are here to assist you in creating a meaningful memorial. If you have any questions, please reach out. We're dedicated to honoring, remembering, and celebrating your loved one.
The style and size of your stone, engraving and artwork, cemetery fees and installation will all factor into the cost of your project.
See our PRICING page for more information.
A granite foundation is included in the price of every monument. This ensures that the foundation beneath the monument or marker remains reliable, with no worries about the inevitable cracking that will come with concrete. Some cemeteries require all foundation work to be completed by the cemeteries themselves, and we offer reduced pricing in these situations.
Our pricing also includes shipping, delivery, and installation in the total cost of the memorial for all pieces, including the foundation. Any cemetery fees or state sales taxes are additional.
We offer reduced pricing for any customer who wants to utilize outside contractors, or would like to handle shipping, delivery, or installation on their own. Some cemeteries require all foundation work to be completed by the cemeteries themselves, and we offer reduced pricing in these situations.

To truly tell your story or the story of your loved one, there are many personalization options, including:
Materials:
- There are many granite colors, or bronze is a great option
- Granite can be carved into many shapes (rectangle, curve, heart, cross, custom statues, etc.)
- Other ideas include benches or boulders
Text and Inscriptions:
- Quotes, lines from books, poems, or songs
- Significant dates and milestones
- Special phrases from family and friends
Visual Elements:
- Laser etching (color is an option!) to reproduce photographic-quality portraits and lifelike landscapes directly onto polished black granite
- Photos (ceramic, porcelain or laser)
- Emblems (religious, military, fraternal organizations)
- Hobbies and passions (nature, music, tools, animals, sports)
- Bronze photo medallions
- Vases
- QR codes
See more on our PERSONALIZATION page.
Depending on the granite you choose (in-stock, domestic, or imported), it can take anywhere from four to eight months for your order to be custom-made and delivered.
In MN, WI, and IA, monuments and markers are typically set between May and October.
Questions? CONTACT US.
Yes. You need to purchase your cemetery plot before selecting your memorial. This should be the first step in any monument planning process, as your memorial will need to comply with cemetery rules and regulations, and we are not allowed to store or hold any monument at our facility for future use or installation under state law.
When considering purchasing a cemetery plot, consider these important factors:
- Location (both of the cemetery itself and of the specific lot),
- Type of cemetery (religious, civil/public, private, etc.)
- Cost of a plot in that specific cemetery,
- Availability of plots in that cemetery
- The specific rules and regulations regarding memorial styles in that cemetery
- Cemetery maintenance standards
Contact us HERE with questions or to schedule a meeting.
- Pre-purchasing your monument is an important and meaningful way to alleviate the burden of memorial planning from your spouse, children and family members after your death.
- Pre-purchasing your marker can help reduce emotional stress, financial burden, emotional overspending, and potential family conflict during an already difficult time for your loved ones.
- Not only that, but granite is a material that likely will increase in cost, so by purchasing today, you are locking in a much lower price than if it were to be purchased 20 years from now.
- It can also provide peace of mind that your wishes for your memorial will be carried out exactly as you want, including any personalization or specific memorial service choices, traditions, or customs you’d like included.

A final date cut (death date engraving) must be paid for at the time it is needed.
