Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to make a headstone in New Jersey?
Most granite headstones take between 4 to 8 weeks from design approval to installation, though more complex custom work can take longer. It's smart to start the process early, especially if the cemetery has a seasonal schedule for monument setting.
Does the cemetery have to approve the headstone design before it's made?
Yes, most cemeteries in New Jersey require families to submit monument specifications for approval before production begins. Your stonemason can usually handle that paperwork on your behalf and ensure the design meets the cemetery's size and material requirements.
What types of stone are most commonly used for grave markers in New Jersey?
Granite is by far the most popular choice because it's durable, weather-resistant, and comes in many colors including gray, black, red, and blue pearl. Marble is also used, particularly in older cemeteries, but it tends to wear faster in the Northeast's freeze-thaw climate.
Can I add a photo or portrait to a headstone?
Yes, porcelain photo medallions and laser-etched portraits are both common options that can be incorporated into a granite monument. The quality of the original photo affects the final result, so you'll want to bring a clear, high-resolution image to your consultation.
What is the difference between a flat grave marker and an upright headstone?
Flat markers lie flush with the ground and are required by some cemeteries for maintenance and mowing purposes. Upright headstones are the traditional vertical stones that stand above ground and typically offer more surface area for inscriptions and design details.
Can an existing headstone be repaired or re-engraved?
In many cases, yes. Stonemasons can re-cut faded lettering, add a spouse's information to a shared monument, or repair chips and cracks. The feasibility depends on the stone's condition and type, so it's worth having a professional assess it before assuming a full replacement is needed.
