Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes are available for flat grave markers in Washington cemeteries?
Flat marker sizes vary by cemetery, but common standard sizes include 12x24 inches, 16x28 inches, and 20x36 inches for single or companion markers. Your provider should check the specific cemetery's requirements before cutting any stone, since sizing mistakes are costly to correct.
How long does it take Capital Grave Markers to complete a marker order?
Typical production and installation timelines run between six and ten weeks from the point of design approval, depending on order volume and the complexity of the work involved. Simpler flat markers with standard text often move faster than large upright monuments with detailed artwork.
Can a grave marker be added to an existing burial plot years after the burial?
Yes, markers and monuments can be added or replaced at any point after a burial, and there's no deadline for placing a permanent marker. Families sometimes wait months or even years before finalizing a memorial, and that's completely normal.
Do stonemasons handle veteran markers, or is that a separate process?
The government provides free bronze or granite grave markers for eligible veterans through the National Cemetery Scheduling Office, but a local stonemason can assist with setting a private marker or adding a private headstone alongside or instead of the government-issued one. It's worth checking eligibility before paying for a privately made marker.
What's the difference between a die and a base on an upright monument?
The die is the upright tablet portion of the monument that carries the inscriptions and decorative elements, while the base is the wider, lower section that anchors it to the ground. Most cemeteries require a specific base width and thickness to ensure stability, and your stonemason will know what each site requires.
Can I see a design proof before the marker is cut?
Reputable monument providers will give you a design proof, sometimes called a layout, showing exactly how the text and any artwork will appear on the finished stone. Review it carefully, because changes are straightforward at the proof stage but difficult or impossible once the stone has been cut.
