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.

The timeline can vary depending on the design, cemetery approval, granite availability, production schedule, and installation. We will give you a realistic timeline before the order is placed and keep you updated throughout the process.

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.

Helpful things to bring include the name and dates for the memorial, cemetery information, photos, design ideas, and any cemetery paperwork you may already have. If you do not have everything yet, that is okay. We can still help you get started.

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.

No. A cemetery can have rules about the type, size, material, placement, and installation requirements for memorials in their cemetery, but they cannot restrict you from purchasing a headstone from the monument company of your choice. You have the right to choose who designs and supplies the memorial, as long as the memorial meets the cemetery’s published rules and requirements. If you are unsure what a cemetery allows, we can help review the requirements with you before you make a decision.

No. We do not install memorials purchased from online providers or outside companies. When we install a memorial, we are also taking responsibility for the quality, fit, safety, cemetery compliance, and long-term stability of that memorial. Because we cannot verify the material, workmanship, shipping condition, or accuracy of a memorial we did not provide, we only install memorials purchased through Austin Stone and Monument.
