Before purchasing
Contact your cemetery for any restrictions or
requirements for your specific plot. Do not purchase a marker prior to this
step.  This includes but not limited to material,
style, size, design finish and color.
Your
on-site responsibilities include any foundation required by the cemetery and
the setting of the stone. Some cemeteries will set stones. Funeral Homes that
sell stones and Vault Companies can be a source for locating this service.  This work on your end is how you are able to
secure savings but you have to be willing to do the work.  We do not contact the cemetery.
Design process
Designs available for this monument are listed
in the additional pictures. Standard front face engraving is included with this
stone. Select a design when purchasing and enter the required information in
the contact buyer box in checkout screen. 
Once you send your order our designers will complete a graphic of your stone
and send it to you for approval. Please review this closely once you approve
the graphic and this is engraved there is no changing or correcting carvings.
Some cemeteries will require a design be submitted for approval. In this case
our graphic will have all the information needed from the dimensions of the
stone and the specific granite along with of course the design. Send this
graphic for approval and once approved we need approval to proceed. We do not
create art prior to purchase. A complete refund will be made for any stone that
cannot be approved for any reason with the design only. Purchased stones that
do not meet cemetery restrictions that we complete designs on will not be fully
refunded. Do not purchase a stone before you contact cemetery for restrictions.
Custom designs can be accommodated and usually are priced between $60-$120.00.

Shipping Common Carrier freight lower 48 only (semi-tractor
trailer not our truck)
Shipping is free to a commercial business with
equipment capable of unloading from a Semi and also for pick up at a freight
terminal.  Business must have access for
Semi and full-time employees, equipment to unload the stone which will be
palletized. Freight terminal delivery will set the skid on your truck or
trailer.   Home based business does not qualify no
exceptions including ranches and farms. Cemeteries require additional fee of $200.00
for delivery includes lift gate service and must have full time employees. A
street address is mandatory for delivery. 
Residential and Church deliveries require additional fee of $250.00
includes lift gate service. We will need the name and contact number for the
employee of the business or cemetery that will be inspecting and signing for
the stone.  The buyer can only be that
contact if employed at the business or cemetery or this is a residential
delivery.  Do not plan to meet truck at
cemetery- this is not acceptable as past attempts by buyers have resulted in
major issues for the buyer.
Delivery
Our history of shipping stones has a less than
1% occurrence of damage. That said damage can happen and if you follow this
procedure, we will handle the claim and replace or repair the damaged stone.
You are responsible that the stone is inspected for any damage from transit at
the time it is delivered. No stone with damage can be accepted and signed for.
If there is damage simply refuse the stone and it will be returned here where
we will file the appropriate claim. If you accept and sign for a stone and then
want to report damage you will have the responsibility of filing the damage
claim. Understand if you signed the ticket for a stone without inspecting and
then find damage most carriers will not pay for that claim. Inspect prior to
signing- refuse if there is any damage. Make sure to communicate this to any
one designated to inspect and sign for the stone.
Communication
All communication on any stone will be strictly
in writing. We do not take any phone calls on stones. We will answer all
questions you have in writing and you will have that record to assist in your
process.
Summary
Purchasing a stone here can be very cost effective and
rewarding.  You have to take the responsibilities
on your end for the savings.  This can be
very rewarding in participating to place a monument that represents lives
lived.  We will answer any questions you
have just send them in writing.  We will
never take phone calls on stones.  We
want every answer we send you to be in writing for you to reference at any
time.
