Product Details

What are you headstones made of?

Our headstones are made from 100% pure quality granite. We never use marble or other materials that degrade over time. All of our granite headstones are guaranteed for life, including laser-engraved photos, lettering and artwork.

What size headstone should I order?

Call to your cemetery and ask the following questions:

  • What headstone size do you require for my particular plot?
  • Is there any paperwork I need to fill out and email/fax to you from my monument company?
  • Do you install the headstone, or does a local installer?
  • Are there any costs I need to pay before you receive my headstone?”

Can you provide a custom size headstone not shown on the website?

We offer the most popular headstone sizes commonly required by cemeteries nationwide. If your cemetery has specific size requirements not listed on our website, we can accommodate any headstone type or size. For an immediate price quote on a specialty headstone, please contact our Memorial Specialists via email, phone or live chat.

Do you offer photos for my headstone?

Yes, we offer free laser-engraved photos please note that the final result depends on the quality of the image provided. Ideally, a 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch) photo is best. If the photo provided during the order does not meet the requirements our customer service representative will get in touch wit you.

Will my headstone's final appearance resemble the one I designed on your website?

Yes, after receiving your order, our graphic design team will create a layout proof that closely resembles the design you created using our “Design Tool.” You will receive this proof via email for your review. Before production begins, you must confirm that the proof is correct. If you need any minor adjustments or revisions, simply reply to the email with your requests. We will make the adjustments and send you a revised draft for approval. It’s that easy.

Can I provide my designs to engrave on the marker?

Our design team has created an online customization process that will eliminate human error and ensure the memorial will look exactly how the customer has designed it. If you don’t see a design that you like please contact us via chat or by email and one of our designers will work with you to design a custom design that you are happy with.

Why can't I change the font size?

To prevent customers from accidentally selecting a font size that wouldn’t display well when engraved on granite, we have made font size adjustments inaccessible. Our system dynamically adjusts font sizes to ensure the text fits properly. If the font is too small, the letters may become distorted; if it’s too large, it may look disproportionate or not fit the monument. Our design team has carefully selected the optimal font sizes to guarantee that the final product will be both legible and visually appealing.
