Flat Grave Marker Information
It is very important to consult with the cemetery where the flat granite grave marker will be placed before you order your marker. Cemeteries have regulations about the size and thickness of the markers used in the cemetery. The marker will be shipped to the cemetery, so you will usually have to sign documents and pay installation fees to the cemetery before ordering the marker. Failure to do so may result in the cemetery refusing to accept the shipment. Installation of the marker will be done by the cemetery caretaker or third party that is approved by the cemetery. Most cemeteries charge approximately $150 to install a marker but fees vary widely throughout the country. Most cemeteries have specific size requirements for markers. The cemetery can refuse the delivery of a marker if it does not conform to their specifications. Your cemetery would be able to tell you what their requirements are. If the cemetery is smaller, privately owned, or located in a more rural area, they may not have any regulations at all. If you have seen all sizes, shapes and styles of markers throughout the cemetery, this may be the case. Since smaller cemeteries may not have an office on the premises, you would need to contact a caretaker or a local funeral home to find out what regulations, if any, exist.
After the design layout of the marker has been approved, most markers are completed within four to six weeks. The smaller markers (24" x 12" x 3" or smaller) are usually shipped via UPS ground, which take up to 7 business days. Larger markers (including 4" thick 24" x 12" markers) are shipped via common carrier, and take about the same time frame for delivery. Markers are normally shipped to the cemetery but small markers shipped via UPS can be shipped to your residence. A 24" x 12" x 3" marker will weigh approximately 100 pounds, so please make sure that you are capable of handling the marker once it arrives. Please contact us for a personalized shipping quote for all orders.
If you buy a double marker and a name or date will be added at a later time, the second name can be added by a local monument company, that will perform the engraving on site with portable equipment. The cemetery or a local funeral home would be able to refer you to a local company providing engraving service in your area. Costs vary geographically, with $75 to $100 being common for the additional of a last date. Additional engraving will increase the cost.
Cleaning & Restoration of Granite Monuments
Skyline Monument Company, LLC offers granite monument cleaning and restoration services to cemeteries, organizations and individuals. The most common cause of dirt and unsightly buildup on markers and monument surfaces is calcification that comes from irrigation water. This calcification causes a gray, chalky residue, that is most prominent when the monument is dry. We use the utmost care to clean, and if necessary, seal granite monuments and markers to make them look like new again.
