The significance of a memorial

When words fail, a memorial speaks.

Choosing a headstone is one of the most important decisions a family makes — it’s how a life is remembered for generations. For over 47 years, our family has helped families across Nevada, California, and beyond create tributes as unique as the people they honor.

We’re not a call center or a marketplace. When you call, you talk to the people who will design, carve, and install your memorial — and nothing goes into production until you’ve approved the final proof.

Common questions

Asked by nearly every family

I've never bought a headstone before — where do I begin?

Start by getting familiar with the standard memorial styles: flat (flush) markers, bevel markers, slants, upright monuments, benches, and cremation estates. Our 5-step design process walks you through cemetery requirements, style, size, granite, and personalization. From there, we work with you one-on-one — by phone, email, or in person — from the first design proof through delivery and placement.

How much does a headstone cost?

Our base prices: single flat (flush) markers start at $1,100, bevel markers at $1,325, slants at $1,850 ($2,850 with a granite base), upright monuments at $3,650, and memorial benches at $3,600. Base prices include a single name, dates, a verse, a design from our catalog, and standard Sierra White granite. Photos, laser etching, premium granite colors, vases, and double-sided engraving add to the cost. Prices do not include sales tax or cemetery setting fees.

Do I need to wait a certain amount of time before ordering a headstone?

No — you can begin the process at any time. Production and delivery typically take one to six months depending on size, design, customization, and granite color. Most cemeteries will have the ground prepared and cement poured before your memorial is delivered.

How long does it take to receive a headstone?

Once you approve the final proof, headstones using inventory stock are typically completed in 6–10 weeks. Fully custom headstones and monuments may take 3–6 months. Quarry location, granite availability, design changes, weather, and shipping can all affect the timeline.
