Before you place an order for a headstone, it's important to speak with your cemetery to ensure everything goes smoothly. A quick call can help prevent delays and added costs. Use the questions below as a guide during your conversation: Are there specific size or design restrictions for headstones in my plot? Do you require any paperwork or pre-approval from the monument company? Who handles the installation —the cemetery or a third-party service? Are there any fees or permits that must be paid before you accept delivery? Getting clear answers to these questions will help ensure your headstone order and installation go as smoothly as possible.

While we offer the most commonly accepted headstone sizes used in cemeteries across the country, some locations have unique requirements not listed on our website. No matter the size or style, we can create a custom headstone that meets your cemetery's exact specifications. Need a custom quote fast? Our Memorial Specialists are ready to help.

We are always glad to assist with any cemetery or funeral home in the U.S. or Canada. To ensure clear and reliable communication, we work with them exclusively by email or fax. While we’re happy to answer your questions by phone, please note that we do not place calls to cemeteries or funeral homes. If a cemetery or funeral home has inquiries, we will gladly respond—again, only through email or fax. Please also note that approval, fees, and installation remain the customer’s responsibility. We do not provide cemetery approval services, installation, or installer coordination under any circumstances.

Once your order is placed, our graphic design team will create a detailed layout proof that reflects the design you created using our Design Tool . You’ll receive this proof by email. Before we begin production, it’s important that you carefully review the layout and confirm that everything looks correct. If you need any small changes or revisions, simply reply to the email with your requests. We’ll make the updates and send you a revised draft for approval. Nothing moves forward until you’re completely satisfied. It’s that easy.

Most orders ship within 4 weeks after we receive both your payment and approval of the emailed layout proof. That’s right — we ship faster than anyone else , and it’s included at no extra cost. Important: While we work hard to meet our production timelines, we do not guarantee specific shipment or delivery dates under any circumstances. Need it even faster? We offer RUSH processing for an additional fee, plus any applicable expedited shipping costs.

For the best results, please upload a clear, high-resolution image—ideally 300 DPI or higher.
