Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Colma different from other places to buy a headstone?
Colma is home to over a dozen cemeteries, and local monument dealers here have direct, ongoing relationships with cemetery staff. That means faster approvals, smoother installations, and fewer surprises compared to working with an out-of-area dealer.
Can I order a headstone before the burial takes place?
Yes, and many families do. Getting the design process started early can actually reduce stress because it gives more time to make thoughtful decisions without feeling rushed. The stone can be installed after the burial once the ground has settled.
What's a bevel marker and when is it a good choice?
A bevel marker is a low-profile stone that's slightly raised at the back and angled toward the front, making it easier to read while still sitting close to the ground. It's a popular middle ground between a flat flush marker and a taller upright monument.
How do Colma cemeteries differ in their monument requirements?
Each cemetery sets its own standards for things like maximum monument height, acceptable materials, and whether upright stones are allowed in certain sections. A local stonemasonry provider will know these rules by cemetery and can steer you toward options that will be approved.
Can a headstone be installed in the winter months?
Yes, California's mild climate means there's rarely a weather-based reason to delay installation. The main factors affecting scheduling are cemetery rules about how long to wait after burial before placing a stone, typically three to six months for settling.
What should I bring to my first consultation with a monument dealer?
It helps to bring the cemetery's monument regulations if you have them, along with any photos of designs you like and the basic information for the inscription. You don't need to have everything figured out beforehand since the provider will guide you through the rest.
