Where does the granite come from?

How long does it take after I order for the marker to get to the cemetery?
Generally a flush marker will take around four weeks from the time of ordering till it gets to the cemetery. Slants and upright monuments take six to eight weeks. Sizes that vary from the norm can take up to twelve weeks.
 

Does the cemetery charge for installation?
Most cemeteries have an installation fee. This fee is for pouring a concrete foundation and/or installing the marker at the grave.

Do some cemeteries have their own regulations?
Most cemeteries have rules and regulations regarding headstones. Catholic cemeteries require a Christian symbol on all headstones as well as the lot number in the lower right corner of the marker. Some public and private cemeteries also require lot numbers on the markers. Specific cemeteries for a religion such as Orthodox may require a cross on the headstone.
 

Who delivers our memorial?
At Lang Monument we personally deliver your memorial to the cemetery. In Catholic Cemeteries, we are required to deliver the marker to the service garage where the cemetery field workers will install the marker. Upright monuments and slant markers are delivered directly to the grave by our family. We make sure the foundation is level and we properly install your memorial.

Can we put a picture on our loved one's marker?
Most cemeteries will allow a photograph to be etched directly on the marker. Some cemeteries allow colored ceramic oval insert or black granite photo etched inserts on a marker. It's best to consult your monument dealer on the rules regarding pictures on a memorial.
