Q&A about Bronze and Granite Cemetery Headstones

When should I buy a headstone?

  • Some people arrange to buy headstones before they die. This is known as pre-need purchase. In other cases, family members buy the headstone after the death; this is called an at-need purchase. Both types are common, and neither is necessarily  better than the other.
  • Our recommendation is not to set the headstone to early onto the gravesite, the ground will settle and will need to be filled again, if you put the grave headstone to early onto the grave it will have to be removed and reset again (the cemetery usually charges for that). We recommend to purchase and go throught the cemetery approval process and the stone be set about 4-6 month after the burial.

What are the differences between bronze and granite headstones?

  • Granite headstones remain the most common cemetery headstones in most cemeteries.
  • The choice of which to use depends, largely, on your taste. Both materials have been used for centuries to mark graves and for many other purposes in which withstanding the elements is a chief aim. And both make for beautiful memorials to your loved-ones.
  • The cemetery sometimes has sections which are assigend to a specific style headstone, either bronze on granite or just granite.
  • Bronze headstones are typically attached to a 4-inch granite base. We do offer the option of purchasing the bronze plaque without the base or without. Sometimes the bronze headstones are set onto concret.

Do I need to have a bronze vase on headstones?

  • The headstone can be purchased with or without a floor vase.
  • The vase can be in the granite or in the bronze.

How are those vases attached?

  • The vases can be when not in use reset into the granite or into the bronze. It is installed with a vase liner under the grave marker.

  • Yes, policies regarding headstones vary greatly among cemeteries, we will contact your cemetery before we process your order to make certain your headstone will be accepted.

Is the cemetery allowed or can the the cemetery refuse my headstone?

  • No, the cemetery has to accept your headstones, as long as the rules are followed.
  • The cemetery can only refuse a headstone if the rules and guidlines are not followed (example: certain sections in a cemetery have size requirements for the headstone; or can only be bronze on granite).

  • Yes, we ship headstones to Canada as well, with addtional shipping charges.

TESTIMONIALS
"My wife & I have made arrangements for our final resting place cremation & placement at a Federal Military Cemetery we have prepaid all our final expenses and were looking for an Urn that was inexpensive but was still dignified & respectful. We purchased the Eternity Cremation Urn from Memorials.com after research & talking with the BBB - The urns arrived within a week of purchase and were more than we expected in every way - beautiful and very well crafted. We both, hopefully, have many more years to live, but knowing our children & grandchildren will not be saddle with planning & the expense of our burial is a godsend. We would & will recommend this product to anyone. "
