Black Granite Upright Headstone with 3-D Carved Roses - Engraving Included

When purchasing a cemetery monument on Amazon, there are essential steps to secure a monument for your loved one. First and foremost, it is crucial to contact the cemetery to understand any requirements or restrictions for your plot, such as style, size, color, design, and potentially more. This will ensure the monument you choose will be accepted by the cemetery. The cemetery can also advise you on the necessary foundation requirements, with many cemeteries providing this service directly. However, the responsibility for constructing the foundation lies with the buyer.

The placement or setting of the monument is the buyer's responsibility as well. Some cemeteries may offer this service, while others recommend contacting funeral homes that sell headstones, as they often have their own stone setters or can contract the service. Additionally, burial vault dealers are now providing stone-setting services, as their equipment is suitable for the task.

Throughout the process, you are responsible for all communication with the cemetery. This may include filling out specific forms, which our provided graphic will have the necessary information to complete. Cemeteries may also require design approval, and the graphic we send upon purchase can be forwarded to the cemetery for their review.

Purchasing a monument through our service can result in substantial savings, often 25 to 35% compared to retail monument companies. However, you must be willing to take on the site work responsibilities we have outlined. The reward can be several thousand dollars in savings, after accounting for any setting fees and foundation fees.

Our designers will create a customized graphic design for your monument based on the information you provide during the customization process. This graphic will be sent to you through the Amazon message system, as we only communicate through this channel. The Amazon platform does not accurately depict the final appearance of the monument, so the graphic we provide will be the true representation.

It is essential to review the graphic carefully for any errors, and it is best to have at least two people review it. Your approval is required before we can proceed with the engraving process.

To access the messages from our sellers, simply enter "Messages from sellers" in the Amazon search bar, and a dropdown menu will appear, allowing you to click on the relevant messages.

The customization process involves several steps. Using a desktop computer will provide the full view of the information included in the customization screens. If using a mobile device, you must click on each gray circle with a small "i" to access the additional details.

The process covers the delivery location, design selection, name and date entry, epitaph or sentiment addition, and various optional enhancements such as back-face engraving, portraits, or flower vases. Once you have completed the customization, you must approve the graphic design before we can proceed with the engraving of your loved one's eternal marker.
