Frequently Asked Questions About Headstones & Memorials
Planning a memorial can come with a lot of questions, especially when it comes to pricing, cemetery rules, design options, timelines, and installation. At Austin Stone and Monument, we help families in Decatur, and the surrounding communities understand their options and make confident decisions about creating a meaningful memorial.
1 / How much does a headstone cost?
The cost of a headstone depends on the size, granite color, shape, design details, lettering, cemetery requirements, and installation. Because every memorial is different, we provide clear pricing after we understand what you need and where the memorial will be placed.
2 / Do I need an appointment?
Appointments are helpful, especially if you want to sit down and design a custom memorial, but walk-ins are welcome. You are welcome to visit our showroom, ask questions, and look through options.
3 / Do you offer cremation memorials?
Yes. Cremation memorials can include granite memorials, benches, columbarium-style options, or custom designs depending on the cemetery and the family’s preference.
4 / Can you add photos, emblems, or custom artwork?
Yes. Options may include porcelain photos, bronze emblems, carved artwork, laser etching on suitable granite, and other custom design elements. The best option depends on the granite, memorial style, and cemetery rules.
5 / What is the first step?
The first step is to contact us, visit one of our locations, or send us information online. We will learn about the cemetery, the memorial you have in mind, and the design direction, then help guide you from there.
