When a loved one is laid to rest, the ground around their gravesite naturally needs time to settle. This process typically takes a few months. However, we want to let our community know that you can begin the process of memorializing your loved one long before the ground is fully settled.
We encourage families to start thinking about a headstone or memorial early because:
🔹The design is a special and personal journey that shouldn't be rushed.
🔹Knowing the prices ahead of time allows you to budget and plan for the memorial you truly want.
🔹Starting early allows for a more comfortable payment plan if needed.
🔹After an order is placed, it takes approximately 12-16 weeks (3 months or more) for the memorial to be crafted and delivered.
As a perpetual care cemetery, we want to give you peace of mind. Even if there is any settling or shifting after a headstone is installed, it is our responsibility to take care of it and ensure the memorial remains properly situated.
Beginning this process at your own pace can provide comfort. Whether you are planning for a loved one or considering a pre-need purchase for yourself, our team is here to guide you through the options and answer any questions you have.
