Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after a death can a monument be installed? Most cemeteries ask that the ground settle for several months before a monument is set, and requirements vary from one cemetery to the next. There's no need to rush the decision. We'll design the memorial on your timeline and coordinate installation once the cemetery is ready.
How much does a monument cost? It depends on the size, material, and artwork. Simpler designs cost less, while larger, hand-carved, or heavily personalized memorials cost more. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll give you a straightforward quote. You can start by exploring what we do.
How long does it take to create? Once the design is approved, production typically takes several weeks, and timing depends on the stone, the etching, and the season. We'll give you a realistic timeline up front so there are no surprises.
Do you handle the cemetery's rules and permits? Yes. We know the local cemeteries, file the required permits, and make sure your monument meets every specification before installation. You won't have to chase any of it down.
Can you match an existing family monument? In most cases, yes. Bring us a photo or the cemetery details and we'll work to match the stone, style, and lettering so the new memorial sits naturally alongside the existing one.
Can you create a memorial for cremation? We can. Whether or not there's a burial plot, we'll help you design a fitting tribute, including personalized glass art etchings that capture a portrait or scene.
What areas do you serve? We serve families throughout Lackawanna County and Northeastern Pennsylvania from our Blakely, Carbondale, and Clifford locations.
