Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to complete a headstone in Durand, Michigan?
Most granite headstones take anywhere from six to twelve weeks from design approval to cemetery installation, depending on the complexity of the engraving and the current workload. It's worth starting the process as early as possible, especially during spring and summer when demand is highest.
Does Marsh Monument install the headstone at the cemetery, or is that my responsibility?
Monument dealers typically handle the full installation process, coordinating directly with the cemetery on placement requirements and foundation specs. You won't need to arrange separate contractors for the job.
What types of stone are available for monuments in the mid-Michigan area?
Granite is by far the most common choice because it holds up well through Michigan's harsh winters and resists staining over time. Marble is also available for certain styles, though it tends to weather faster in climates with significant freeze-thaw cycles.
Can I add a photo or portrait to a headstone?
Yes, laser-etched portraits are a popular option and can be added to most granite monuments. You'll need to provide a clear, high-resolution photograph, and the engraver will work from that to create a detailed likeness in the stone.
How do I choose between a flat marker and an upright headstone?
The choice often comes down to cemetery rules, personal preference, and budget. Some cemeteries in Michigan only allow flat markers, so it's important to check the specific regulations of the burial ground before finalizing your order.
Can existing monuments be repaired or re-engraved?
Yes, restoration and re-engraving services are available for monuments that have become damaged, faded, or need updated information added. A stonemason can assess the condition of the existing stone and recommend the best approach for restoration.
