Final
Date Lettering
Lettering
of the final date of death can be done once the monument has
been put in the cemetery and will match existing lettering.
Lettering may also be matched to any existing monument.
The
pricing for the final date lettering of a pre-need monument
is not included in the original purchase price of the monument.
Charges
for lettering are based upon the number of letters or numbers
and size and style of lettering selected.
Lettering
styles
Some
of the lettering styles include Modified Roman, Condensed Roman,
Classic Roman, Frosted Outline, Old English, Script Lettering,
Shadow Outline and Hebrew. For a complete listing and samples
please contact us.
Foundations
The
foundation is the cement pad that is poured level with the ground
and approximately 4 feet deep for the monument to rest on.
The
purpose of the foundation is to keep the monument level, keep
it from sinking and prevent heaving from the frost.
The
Cemetery in which the monument will be placed will be responsible
for installing the foundation. We will make all the necessary
arrangements with the cemetery to pour the foundation. Pricing
of foundations vary according to the size of the monument.
Corner
Posts
Corner
Posts are small blocks of granite or marble that are initialed
with the first letter of the family's last name. The posts are
placed flush with the ground and are set on the four corners
of the cemetery lot to mark the boundary.
Some
cemeteries require some sort of marker to distinguish a family's
lot, others do not. We can verify if a particular cemetery requires
them or not.
