Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a bronze marker and a granite grave marker?
Bronze markers are cast metal plaques, often mounted on a granite base, and they have a classic look common in veteran cemeteries and older memorial parks. Granite markers are cut directly from stone and come in a wider range of colors and finishes.
Can you provide markers for veterans with military honors?
Yes, veteran monuments can include branch insignia, service dates, and medals earned. There are also free government-furnished grave markers available for eligible veterans through the VA, and a monument provider can help you understand that process.
How much does a basic grave marker cost in Illinois?
A simple flat granite marker typically starts around a few hundred dollars, while upright headstones and custom monuments range considerably higher depending on size and design complexity. Getting a specific quote based on your needs is the best way to plan your budget.
Do cemeteries in the Lemont area have specific marker requirements?
Yes, each cemetery sets its own rules about marker dimensions, materials, and foundation specifications. Capital Grave Markers can help confirm what's allowed at your specific cemetery before any order is placed.
Can I order a grave marker before a loved one passes?
Pre-planning a monument is actually something many families consider, especially when working with estate planners or making funeral pre-arrangements. Having the design decisions made in advance can reduce stress for family members later.
How long does delivery and installation typically take?
Standard markers usually take six to eight weeks from order to installation, though more complex custom pieces can take longer. Cemetery scheduling for the actual installation can affect the final timeline as well.
