FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How long does it take to make a headstone?

The typical timeline from order to installation is 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design, the material selected, and cemetery scheduling. Custom engravings, portraits, or intricate carvings may add additional time. We keep you informed throughout the process and will provide an estimated completion date at the time of your order.

What materials do you use for monuments?

We work primarily with granite and marble, the most durable and weather-resistant materials for outdoor memorials. Granite is available in a wide range of colors including gray, black, pink, red, and blue. We source from reputable quarries and can match specific color preferences or cemetery requirements. We can also work with bronze for plaques and flat markers.

Do you install the monument at the cemetery?

Yes. We handle the full installation process including foundation preparation, delivery, and setting. We coordinate directly with the cemetery to ensure all placement requirements are met. Most cemeteries have specific rules about monument size, material, and foundation type, and we are experienced in meeting the standards of cemeteries throughout Morris, Bergen, Essex, Passaic, and Hudson Counties.

Can I add a photo or custom design to the headstone?

Absolutely. We offer laser-etched photographic portraits as well as custom hand-carved designs, religious symbols, floral motifs, and personalized inscriptions. You can bring us a photograph or artwork and we will prepare a proof for your approval before any work begins on the stone. Custom designs are one of our specialties.

How much does a headstone cost?

The price of a monument depends on the size, material, and level of customization. Simple flat markers may start at a few hundred dollars, while upright granite headstones typically range from $1,500 to $5,000 or more depending on the design. Family monuments and mausoleums vary widely. We offer free consultations and no-obligation quotes so you can make an informed decision within your budget.
