Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get a headstone made and installed in Houston?
Most granite headstones take between 6 and 12 weeks from final design approval to installation, though timelines can vary based on complexity and the cemetery's scheduling. It's a good idea to start the process as early as possible to avoid delays.
Do I need cemetery approval before ordering a headstone?
Yes, most cemeteries in the Houston area have specific rules about monument size, material, and style. Your monument provider can often help you obtain the cemetery's requirements and make sure your order meets them before fabrication begins.
What types of granite are best for Houston's climate?
Dark granites like Black Absolute and American Black tend to perform well in Houston's humid conditions because they're dense and highly resistant to moisture absorption. Your stoneworker can walk you through the options and their long-term durability.
Can I add a photo to a granite headstone?
Yes, porcelain photo medallions can be affixed to granite monuments and are a popular choice for families who want a visual tribute. Laser-etched portraits directly onto the stone are another option, offering a different aesthetic that many families prefer.
What is the difference between a flat marker and an upright monument?
Flat markers lie flush with or just above ground level, while upright monuments stand vertically and are typically more visible from a distance. Some Houston cemeteries only allow flat markers in certain sections, so it's worth confirming with the cemetery before you decide.
Can a headstone be updated or re-engraved after it's installed?
In many cases, yes. Additional engraving, such as adding a spouse's name or date, can often be done on-site or by removing and returning the stone to the shop. Contact the provider to assess whether the existing stone and surface are suitable for additional work.
