Cemetery rules
Every cemetery sets its own
One team. Design to setting.
How a memorial is built
Eight steps, in the order the work happens. Your project manager is the person you call. A lead designer draws the proof.

You meet your project manager on a free video call. That person is your design consultant for the whole job.

A lead designer prepares the CAD drawings and sends you the proof.

Final walk-through
After the stone is set, you and your project manager walk through a punch list and you give final approval.
Cemetery
We handle the cemetery
Every cemetery sets its own rules. On a design call we look at them with you. Cemeteries usually want a drawing before they approve a stone. We do not decide the rules for them.
We install nearby or ship free.
Will my cemetery accept it?
Every cemetery sets its own rules for size, material, and design. We do not decide that for them. Bring the rules to the design call and we will look at them with you. We install nearby or ship free.
Design help
Three ways we design with you
Choose a published design and you will see the price before you talk to us. For a fully custom design, the consult is where we price it.
Template
A monument we already make. You add the name, the dates, and a short line, and you pick a granite color that design offers. You will see the price on the page.
TemplateCustomize
The same monument, and the same price on the page. Add a vase or a ceramic photo only when you pick one that already has a price.
CustomizeFull Custom
A design that is not on a listing, so there is no price on the page. The design consult is where we price your custom design.
