Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a granite headstone typically cost in New Jersey?
Prices vary widely depending on size, design complexity, and stone color, but a standard single upright granite headstone in NJ generally ranges from around $1,000 to $3,500 or more. Custom features like portraits, colored granite, or intricate carvings add to the cost.
Do you need to buy a monument through the funeral home?
No, you're not required to purchase a monument through the funeral home. Buying directly from an independent stonemason often gives you more design options and better pricing. Funeral homes sometimes mark up monument costs significantly.
Can a monument be ordered for a grave that's been there for years?
Absolutely. Many families order a monument months or even years after a burial, sometimes waiting until finances allow or until a surviving spouse can be added. There's no deadline that requires you to place a stone immediately after interment.
What information do I need to bring to my first appointment?
Bring the full legal name of the deceased, birth and death dates, the name and location of the cemetery, and any design ideas or religious symbols you'd like included. A copy of the cemetery's monument rules is also helpful, though your stonemason may already have that on file.
Are memorial benches available for cemetery use?
Yes, granite memorial benches are a popular option in many New Jersey cemeteries and can be inscribed with names, dates, and personal messages. Not all cemeteries allow them, so you'll want to confirm with the cemetery office before ordering one.
How do I know if a headstone has been properly installed?
A properly installed headstone should be level, secure, and set on a foundation that meets the cemetery's standards, which usually involves a concrete base. You can visit the site after installation to inspect it, and a reputable stonemason will address any settling or alignment issues if they arise.
