Frequently Asked Questions

Can Memory Stones work with older historic cemeteries in the Tinicum area?
Yes, providers familiar with Delaware County understand that older cemeteries often have strict rules about monument dimensions and installation methods. It's always a good idea to confirm the cemetery's guidelines with the provider before placing an order.
What's the difference between a flat marker and an upright headstone?
Flat markers lie flush with the ground and are often required by cemeteries that maintain a uniform lawn appearance. Upright headstones stand vertically and are more visible, offering more surface area for engraving and design elements.
Can I order a monument before a burial has taken place?
Absolutely. Many families begin the monument process shortly after a death, and some even pre-plan monuments before passing. Starting early actually gives you more time to review the design carefully without feeling rushed.
Do monument dealers in Pennsylvania need to follow any licensing requirements?
Monument dealers in Pennsylvania are generally not required to hold a state license specific to the trade, but many belong to industry associations that hold members to professional standards. Asking about their experience and process is always a smart step.
How do I know if the monument will fit the cemetery plot?
The cemetery provides guidelines on maximum foundation size and monument height, and a reputable dealer will gather that information before fabricating anything. Sharing the name of the cemetery when you reach out saves time and avoids costly mistakes.
Is it possible to add an inscription to an existing headstone?
Yes, adding a date of death or a new line of text to an existing monument is a common service called monument cleaning and re-engraving. The stone is typically worked on-site at the cemetery, so it doesn't need to be removed.
