Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get a monument made and installed in Downers Grove?
Production timelines typically run six to ten weeks depending on the complexity of the design and the current workload. Cemetery scheduling for installation can add additional time, so it's worth starting the process as early as possible after a burial.
What granite colors are available for headstones?
Common choices include classic gray, black, pink, and mahogany granites, each with different veining and texture. The right choice often depends on the cemetery's guidelines and what complements nearby monuments in the section where your loved one is buried.
Can I get a monument with a photo etched into the stone?
Yes, laser etching technology allows for detailed portrait etchings directly into granite. You'd provide a high-resolution photo, and the finished result is a permanent, weather-resistant image built into the stone.
Does the cemetery need to approve the monument design before installation?
Most cemeteries in the Downers Grove area have specific rules about monument dimensions, materials, and foundation requirements. Your monument provider typically handles this approval process and submits the necessary paperwork to the cemetery on your behalf.
What's the difference between a headstone and a grave marker?
A headstone is an upright stone placed at the head of a grave, while a grave marker is usually a flat bronze or granite piece flush with the ground. Some cemeteries only allow one type, so it's important to check before you order.
Can lettering be added to an existing monument years after it was installed?
Yes, adding a death date or additional inscription to an existing monument is a common request. A stonemason can often do this work directly at the cemetery site without removing the stone.
