Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between sandblasting and laser engraving on headstones?
Sandblasting uses pressurized abrasive material to carve letters and designs into the stone surface, creating deep, tactile lettering that holds up very well over decades. Laser engraving works on polished granite surfaces and can produce highly detailed photographic images and fine artwork, though it creates shallower marks.
Can I choose a headstone shape that's not a standard rectangle?
Yes, monuments come in many shapes including heart-shaped stones, scroll tops, serp tops, and custom silhouettes that reflect the personality or interests of the person being remembered. Custom shapes may cost more and take longer to produce, but they're a meaningful way to personalize a memorial.
Is there a waiting period before a headstone can be placed after burial?
Many cemeteries in New Jersey require that the ground settle for three to six months after burial before a permanent monument is installed. This prevents the stone from shifting as the soil compacts. Your stonemason can advise you on the specific policy at your cemetery.
Can a headstone be replaced if it gets damaged?
Yes, damaged or broken headstones can often be repaired or replaced entirely. Some older stones can be re-set if they've simply fallen over, while badly cracked or broken ones may need to be fully remade. A stonemason can assess the damage and recommend the most practical solution.
Do stonemasons handle military grave markers?
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provides free headstones and markers for eligible veterans, and a stonemason can handle the installation of those government-furnished markers at the cemetery. Families can also order a private monument and include military insignia, branch seals, and rank details as part of the design.
How far in advance should I start planning a monument?
Starting 4 to 6 weeks before you want the monument placed is generally enough for standard designs, but custom monuments with detailed carvings or special materials may need 8 to 12 weeks. If you're planning ahead for a future need, there's no harm in starting the design process early.
