When ordering headstones to memorialize deceased family members, clients often ask us how long they should expect it to take for the monument to be manufactured and installed.

There are a few factors that can lengthen or shorten this timeline, such as:

The Size and Shape of the Stone:

Small and medium-sized headstones can typically be made and installed relatively quickly, especially if the client chooses a standard shape. Large, intricate stones generally take a lot longer to manufacture.

The Availability of the Stone:

Availability plays a huge role in determining the length of time it’ll take to install a headstone. If the manufacturer needs to wait weeks for the stone to arrive at their shop, the process is almost certain to take longer than three months.

The Responsiveness of the Cemetery:

Most cemeteries in the United States have rules which state they must approve all headstones before they are installed. When cemeteries are responsive, this process generally takes a couple of days at most. When they are unresponsive, it can take weeks or even months.
