Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose a local monument dealer instead of ordering online?
Working with a local provider means you can see samples in person, ask questions face to face, and have a direct point of contact if something needs to be corrected. Online monument orders can save money upfront but may come with complications around cemetery approval, delivery, and installation that a local dealer handles routinely.
Does the cemetery charge a fee for monument installation?
Many cemeteries in New Jersey charge a foundation or installation fee that's separate from what you pay the monument dealer. It's a good idea to contact the cemetery early and ask about any fees they charge for outside monument companies to set stones.
What should I look for when reading reviews of a monument dealer?
Pay attention to comments about communication, accuracy of the finished product, and how the business handled any problems that came up. A dealer who responds professionally to criticism and follows through on corrections is often a safer choice than one with a perfect score but no details to back it up.
Can I design a monument to honor a veteran?
Veteran monuments often include military branch insignia, rank, and service dates alongside the standard personal information, and many stone dealers are experienced with these designs. Some veterans may also qualify for a free government-issued grave marker, which your dealer can help you understand and apply for if applicable.
How are monuments transported and installed at a cemetery?
Monument dealers typically use specialized equipment to transport and set heavy stone pieces safely, and installation crews work directly with cemetery staff to confirm placement. Proper base preparation is done before the stone arrives, and the process usually takes only a few hours once everything is ready.
Is it possible to order a monument for a child or infant?
Yes, and many monument providers approach these orders with particular care, understanding how emotionally significant they are. Smaller monuments designed for children often include softer imagery like angels, animals, or personalized motifs, and dealers can guide families through options that feel appropriate and meaningful.
