Answers before you ask


Questions from Columbus families

How much does a headstone cost in Columbus?

Our memorial packages run from $1,500 to $5,000 with design, engraving and installation included. Price depends on size, granite colour and how much custom artwork you would like. We give Columbus families a firm number before anything is ordered.

How long does a memorial take?

In as little as four weeks. We stock granite locally and do the drafting and sandblasting in-house, so we are not waiting on a quarry. We give you a firm date for your cemetery before you approve the design.

Do you install at Columbus cemeteries?

Yes. We confirm each cemetery's rules on size, material and foundation before we carve, then set the memorial ourselves. Nothing is refused at the gate.

Do I need to visit in person?

No. Most Columbus families work with us by phone and email. We send proofs and you respond when you are ready. If you would rather see granite in person we are glad to meet you; just call ahead so we can set the time aside. No payment required to see your design.
