Frequently Asked Questions

What type of granite works best for outdoor memorials in the Pacific Northwest?
Harder, fine-grained granites with low porosity perform best in the wet Pacific Northwest climate because they absorb less moisture and resist freeze-thaw damage more effectively. Black and dark gray granites are especially popular in this region because they also show inscriptions clearly even in low light or overcast conditions.
Can Memory Stones create a companion monument for two people?
Yes, companion monuments are designed for married couples or others sharing a burial plot, and they typically feature both names and dates on a single wider stone. One side is often left blank until needed, and it's possible to add the second inscription years later while keeping the design consistent.
Are there cultural or religious design options available for headstones?
Monument providers can incorporate a wide range of religious symbols, cultural motifs, and personalized artwork into headstone designs, from Christian crosses and Jewish Stars of David to Buddhist imagery and secular custom illustrations. You'd work with the designer to find imagery that reflects the person being honored.
How do I know if a monument meets my cemetery's requirements?
A good stonemason will contact the cemetery directly or consult their published monument regulations before finalizing any design. Most cemeteries in King County have written rules covering dimensions, materials, and foundation types, and an experienced local provider will already be familiar with many of them.
What happens if a headstone gets damaged after installation?
Damage from weather, accidents, or vandalism can sometimes be repaired by a stonemason, depending on the type and extent of the damage. Chips, cracks, and faded engravings are the most common issues, and many of them can be addressed without replacing the entire monument.
Is there a way to honor someone with a memorial who was cremated?
Absolutely. Families who chose cremation often still want a permanent memorial, and options include upright monuments, flat markers at a cemetery niche or garden, memorial benches, and even private garden stones. A stonemason can help you choose a format that fits both your wishes and the rules of where it will be placed.
