Frequently Asked Questions

Can Dayton Headstones make a monument that meets VA cemetery requirements?
Many monument providers in the Dayton area have experience with VA standards, which include specific size requirements and approved materials. It's worth asking directly whether they've worked with Dayton National Cemetery or similar VA facilities before.
How do I choose between black granite and gray granite for a headstone?
Black granite tends to show engraving more crisply and maintains its appearance well over decades, while gray granite offers a more traditional look that blends with older cemetery aesthetics. Both are durable choices, and a lot comes down to personal preference and what looks right alongside nearby markers.
What happens if there's a mistake in the engraving after the stone is finished?
Reputable monument dealers will fix engraving errors at no charge if the mistake was on their end. This is why reviewing the design proof carefully before approving it is so important.
Do I need to be present at the cemetery when the monument is installed?
You don't have to be there, as the installation is typically handled directly between the monument dealer and the cemetery. Many families do choose to visit after installation to see it in place for the first time.
Can I add additional family members to a companion headstone later?
Yes, companion monuments are designed to accommodate two people, and if the second person's information isn't known at the time, the space is left blank to be engraved later. Most providers can return to add the second inscription when needed.
What's the typical lead time for a headstone in the Dayton area?
Most monument orders in Ohio take between 6 and 10 weeks from final approval to installation, though simpler flat markers can sometimes move faster. Winter weather occasionally affects outdoor installation scheduling, so it's wise to plan ahead.
