FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A. We don’t include prices on the designs shown on our website because of the numerous factors that determine the price of a memorial.

A. Memorial prices are based on the size of stone used, granite color, finish, design elements and cemetery regulations.

A. The price you receive from CMC includes lettering, carving, cemetery fee’s (if any) and installation. The only thing that would add to this price if you add vases, picture, etc. There are no “hidden fee’s” that will be added later.

A. There is no set time but Memorials are usually selected soon after the burial. We understand that this can be a difficult time to make any decisions and our experienced staff will work with you at your convenience.

A. Normal production time is 4-8 weeks from the date the memorial design is approved until the memorial is installed. However, depending on granite used, some orders may require 4-6 months. Be assured that once the layout is approved we will start production of the order as quickly as possible.

A. No cemetery can stipulate that you have to buy your bronze marker from them.

A. CMC being a full service memorialist, will inscribe the Date Of Death at the cemetery. The cost of this service is not included in the purchase price of the memorial because there is no guarantee that we will be in operation when this service is needed. This date will not be added until a family member or funeral home contacts us.

1. Is the person or company selling the memorial a true professional, are they willing to devote the time and attention I need in order to make the best choice?

2. Are they knowledgeable about the cemetery rules and regulations?
