Determine with your family the type of memorial headstone you would like to create. The most common are flat, single-piece markers, upright monuments, benches, and cremation memorials.

How To Navigate Creating A Memorial Headstone
A 5-Step Checklist
You and your family can then determine the granite color you prefer the memorial be made of. The most common colors are black and light gray, but there are also shades of rose, red, blue, green, brown, and more!
Once you have a memorial type and color, you will want to contact your cemetery to see if there are any specific restrictions for the section in the cemetery and to make sure that memorial type would be allowed at the cemetery.
Once your cemetery has approved the memorial type (or your monument company has confirmed that it is allowed because they have a history working in that cemetery), you can now purchase your memorial.
The last step is to work with your memorial company to create a design that captures your loved one’s life and memory. Once a design is created, your monument company should be able to handle all other arrangements.

I couldn’t be more pleased with Stoltz Memorials. It was my first experience with purchasing a headstone. Ashlin worked with me and answered all my questions quickly.

Stoltz Memorial did an outstanding job on our choice of a bench granite memorial and stayed within our tight budget. If you’re looking for quality in your memorial headstone, give Stoltz a call.

Ashlin Stoltz from Atolz Memorials was wonderful to work with – from talking through our options for my parent’s marker to educating us about the process and production, all the way to delivery to the cemetery.
