Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between a flat marker and an upright monument?
The choice often comes down to cemetery rules first, then personal preference. Some sections of Colma's cemeteries only allow flat markers, while others permit upright monuments. Your monument provider can tell you what's allowed at the specific cemetery you're working with.
Can Memory Stones match an existing headstone for a spouse or family member being added to a plot?
Yes, matching an existing stone in terms of material, color, finish, and font is a common request. Bring photos or, if possible, the original order details from the existing stone to help the provider get as close a match as possible.
Is there a minimum order size or type for stonemasonry services?
Not typically. Whether you need a small flat bronze marker or a large custom granite monument, stonemasonry providers handle the full range. Pricing will reflect the size and complexity of the piece, not a minimum threshold.
How do I know the stone won't crack or fade over time?
Granite is extremely durable and resists both weathering and UV fading, which is why it's the industry standard for outdoor memorials. A quality provider uses commercially graded granite and professional-grade engraving techniques that hold up for decades.
Do monument providers in Colma work with veterans' cemeteries?
Some do, though veterans' memorials often involve a separate process through the Department of Veterans Affairs for government-furnished markers. A local provider can advise whether they work with VA-provided stones or coordinate alongside them.
What happens if there's a mistake on the engraving after installation?
Reputable stonemasonry providers stand behind their work. If an error was made on their end, they'll typically correct it at no additional cost. That's one reason reviewing the design proof carefully before approval is so important.
