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.
