Purchasing a memorial is a unique experience. You are making decisions that will endure
for generations. Very often, those decisions must represent the varied wishes and opinions
of family members. At Heartland Monument Company, our trained professionals can help
guide you through the important decisions involved in creating a memorial of everlasting
beauty.
Step One
Determine the requirements and regulations of your cemetery. Many cemeteries have
monument size and shape requirements based on the number of graves a family owns.
Some cemeteries only allow specific colors of granite, while others require bronze markers.
For help finding your cemetery's requirements, contact one of our represenatives.
Step Two
Select the color of granite for the memorial. Granite color varies depending on where it was
quarried. We import granite from all over the world and offer a selection of beautiful granite
colors from North America. In fact, we have the largest selection of colors available.
Memorial price depends, in part, on your choice of granite.
Step Three
To make a memorial design your family's personal tribute to a loved one, please consider
several important questions:
1) What shape of stone do you prefer?
2) What design elements should your memorial feature?
3) Would you like to inscribe a family saying or religious verse?
4) What other personal elements are important for your memorial?
The best way to answer these questions is to contact us and let our designers guide
you through the process. Our website lists all locations, including directions and phone
numbers. View some examples in are monument gallery on the website.
Depending on style and granite color, your memorial can take from six weeks to six months
to be made. Popular granite colors and sizes are often already in inventory, so many
memorials can be delivered in 6-8 weeks.
