Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best granite color for a headstone in South Carolina's climate?
Black and dark gray granites are popular in the South because they hold engravings well and resist weathering over time. Lighter granites like pink or white can also perform well, but they show staining more easily in humid climates like Upstate SC.
Can Memory Stones create a memorial bench for a cemetery or garden?
Memorial benches are a growing option for families who want a more substantial tribute, and many stonemasons can fabricate granite benches with custom inscriptions. Check with the cemetery first, as not all locations allow benches outside of private or estate sections.
How detailed can the engraving on a headstone be?
Modern laser engraving can produce highly detailed portraits, scenic images, and fine decorative work on polished granite. Hand-carved elements have a more traditional look and are also available depending on the provider's equipment and skills.
What happens if the headstone arrives and there's an error in the inscription?
Reputable providers will have you sign off on a design proof before cutting to avoid errors. If a mistake occurs on their end after approval, they should correct it at no cost to you, so always review proofs carefully before giving the go-ahead.
Do monument providers in Spartanburg work with veterans' families for military headstones?
Yes, and it's worth knowing that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provides free headstones or markers for eligible veterans. Monument providers can help you understand that program and may still be needed for installation or a base, depending on the cemetery.
Is it possible to order a headstone before the burial takes place?
Yes, pre-planning a headstone is something families increasingly do, especially when managing the process of an estate or pre-arranging their own memorial. Your provider can hold the order and coordinate timing for installation after burial has taken place.
