Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get a monument made in Westfield?
Most granite monuments take anywhere from six to twelve weeks from design approval to installation, depending on the complexity of the engraving and current shop volume. Simpler flat markers can sometimes be completed faster, so it's worth asking about your specific timeline when you call.
Can I get a monument installed at any cemetery in Massachusetts?
Most cemeteries in Massachusetts have their own rules about monument size, material, and who can perform installations. A local stonesmason familiar with Hampden County cemeteries can usually tell you upfront whether your design meets the requirements for a specific cemetery.
What types of stone are most common for headstones in New England?
Granite is by far the most popular choice in New England because it holds up well against harsh winters and acidic soil. You'll find it in a range of colors including gray, black, red, and blue pearl, each offering a different look for the finished monument.
Can I add a photo or portrait to a granite headstone?
Yes, laser-etched portraits are a common option that creates a detailed, permanent image directly on the stone surface. You'll need to provide a clear, high-resolution photo for the best result, and the stonesmason can show you examples of past portrait work before you commit.
Is it possible to add an inscription to an existing headstone?
Adding a death date or a short additional inscription to an existing monument is a fairly routine service for stonemasons. The stone is either re-engraved on-site at the cemetery or removed temporarily and returned to the shop, depending on the complexity of the work.
What's the difference between an upright monument and a flat grave marker?
An upright monument stands vertically above ground and typically offers more surface area for inscriptions, artwork, and family names. A flat marker lies flush with or just above the ground and is often required by cemeteries that maintain a uniform lawn appearance.
