How to Order a Headstone Online
Ordering a headstone online is simpler than many families expect. Here is how it works with us, from first look to the stone at the cemetery.
Step by step
- 1. Call the cemetery and ask which types and sizes are allowed (see our cemetery rules checklist).
- 2. Choose a design: flat, bevel, slant or upright, for one person or two.
- 3. Type the names, dates and any verse, and see them on the stone before you order.
- 4. Order online, with free shipping to US addresses.
- 5. We email a proof of the exact stone. Ask for any changes; nothing is engraved until you approve.
- 6. The stone is engraved and shipped: about 2 to 4 weeks after approval for a Fast shipping design, about 10 to 12 weeks for made to order. We coordinate delivery with you and the cemetery.
Questions along the way
Our team is a chat away on every page, and we help with wording, sizes and cemetery rules. Many families order ahead of time and leave a date open to add later.
Common questions
Can I see the stone before it is made?
Yes. You see a preview of your wording on the stone before you order, and you approve a production proof before engraving starts.
Who installs the headstone?
We ship to your home or directly to the cemetery. Setting the stone is arranged with the cemetery or a local monument dealer, and any foundation or setting fee is paid to them.
