About Derrick Monument

Derrick Monument serves Le Roy, New York, a small Genesee County town best known as the birthplace of Jell-O and surrounded by the farmland and small communities of the western Finger Lakes region. Families in this part of upstate New York often value local relationships and skilled craftsmanship over big-box convenience. With both engraving and stonemasonry services, Derrick Monument offers more complete in-house capabilities than providers who outsource one or the other. That combination matters when you want consistent quality from stone selection all the way through to the final inscription.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the benefit of choosing a provider that does both engraving and stonemasonry in-house?
When one business handles both the stonework and the engraving, there's less chance of miscommunication about fonts, spacing, or depth of cut. You also deal with one set of timelines and one point of contact, which simplifies the whole process.
Can Derrick Monument add an engraving to a headstone that was made by a different company?
In most cases, yes. As long as the existing stone is in good condition and has adequate surface area, an experienced engraver can add new text or imagery to a monument that was originally made elsewhere. They'll assess the stone first to confirm the surface is suitable.
What fonts or lettering styles are available for monument inscriptions?
There are dozens of standard lettering styles to choose from, ranging from classic Roman and serif fonts to script and block styles. Many providers can also create custom lettering if you have a specific look in mind, and they'll show you a layout proof before cutting begins.
How do I know the monument will meet the cemetery's specifications?
Experienced monument providers routinely check with cemeteries before fabricating a stone to confirm height, width, thickness, and base requirements. It's one of the first things they verify so you don't end up with a monument that can't be installed where you intended.
Is it possible to include both English and another language on a headstone?
Yes, bilingual inscriptions are fairly common and can be incorporated into the design layout with the right spacing and font choices. Just provide the text you want in both languages and confirm the spelling carefully, since corrections after engraving are difficult.
How far in advance should I order a monument after a loved one passes?
Many families wait three to six months before placing an order, which allows time for grief to settle and for thoughtful decisions about the design. However, you can place an order at any point, and the provider will work with your timeline as best they can.
