Frequently Asked Questions

What types of stone are used for monuments in the Saint Charles area?
Granite is the dominant material because it's hard, weather-resistant, and takes carving and polishing well. Some older cemeteries in the area have marble or limestone markers, but new monuments are almost universally granite today.
Can I design a monument that reflects a specific faith tradition?
Yes, religious symbols, scripture verses, and faith-specific design elements are commonly incorporated into monument designs. A stonemason can work with nearly any symbol or imagery you want included, from crosses and Stars of David to more personalized spiritual artwork.
How do I find out what size monument is allowed at a specific cemetery in Kane County?
Contact the cemetery's office directly for their monument specifications, which outline acceptable dimensions, materials, and foundation requirements. Your monument provider can also help request this information on your behalf.
Is it possible to get a companion monument for two people?
Yes, companion monuments are designed to memorialize two people on a single stone, typically placed side by side. One side is completed at the time of the first passing, and the remaining details are added later.
Can a monument be moved if a family relocates the remains?
Monuments can be removed, transported, and reinstalled, though it requires coordination with both cemeteries and careful handling to avoid cracking the stone. A stonemason experienced in monument setting can manage this kind of relocation.
What information do I need to bring when ordering a headstone?
You'll need the full name of the deceased, birth and death dates, and any specific wording or epitaphs you want included. If you want a symbol or artwork, having a reference image helps the stonemason get the design right.
