Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. 

  • What is the purchasing process?

    1. How many graves are there in the lot? Most cemeteries have size restrictions that pertain to the number of graves there are. 2 grave lots, 4 grave lots, and so on. If there is already an upright monument, chances are you can only purchase a flat marker. Knowing this will ease the process for you.
    2. Once we determine the size, the next step is the color. We have a color chart here for you to see. Prices vary with regard to the color you choose.
    3. The design. There are basic shapes, and we have design books here that you can go through that range from Catholic designs with crosses and flowers to plain designs with borders only or just flowers. If you have a plan in mind, we can also do that.
    4. The sketch. Once you decide on your memorial, we will have a sketch done with everything you have chosen, along with names and dates, for you to see and approve. If there are changes needed or if you want a different design, feel free to do so. We will not rush you or push you into something you are not comfortable with. This is your memorial, and it should be done properly, the way you want.
    5. Once approved, the details are sent into production. Your monument will be handled by what I believe are the best craftsmen and women in the industry. When finished, it is shipped to us and set on your family lot for you to visit for many years to come.
