Frequently Asked Questions

Does CJ Stones work with all cemeteries in the Bedford area?
Most stonework providers coordinate directly with local cemeteries to confirm size restrictions, foundation requirements, and installation rules. It's worth calling ahead with the specific cemetery's name so they can verify any guidelines before your design is finalized.
What types of stone are typically available for headstones in Westchester County?
Granite is the most common choice because it's durable and comes in a wide range of colors, from classic gray to deep black and warm rose tones. Some families also request marble or bluestone for a more traditional look, especially in older cemeteries that have an established aesthetic.
How long does it take to receive a finished monument?
Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the design and current workload, but most standard granite monuments take anywhere from six to twelve weeks from order to installation. Custom designs with detailed artwork or extensive lettering may take a bit longer.
Can I add an inscription to an existing headstone rather than ordering a new one?
Yes, adding a second date or additional text to an existing marker is a common request, especially for shared monuments. A stonemason will assess the stone's condition first to make sure the surface can be re-cut cleanly without damaging the original work.
Do I need to be present for the installation?
Most families choose not to attend the installation, which is a routine process handled between the monument provider and the cemetery staff. However, you're welcome to request a walkthrough afterward to confirm everything looks exactly as expected.
What's the difference between a flush marker and an upright monument?
A flush marker lies flat with the ground and is often required by cemeteries that maintain a uniform lawn appearance. An upright monument stands vertically and offers more surface area for inscriptions, symbols, and personalized design elements.
