Questions and Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing a tombstone can be difficult when you are already dealing with loss. To make things smoother, we collected questions our customers ask most often and gave them clear, simple answers. Use this guide to understand the steps, options and costs, so you can honour your loved one with a tombstone with confidence and peace of mind.
Can i see what you have to offer?
Yes. We have flyers and catalogues showing our designs at all our branches. You can also see the same catalogues on our website for easy viewing at home. Should you already have something in mind, you are also welcome to bring your own ideas. We can also draw a custom tombstone just for you.
What are your most popular tombstones?
Look at the “Popular Tombstones” pages in the catalogue. You can also view the online catalogue of the designs most families choose. These tombstone styles balance beauty, strength and lasting quality.
Can I customise and personalise the tombstone?
Yes. You may change the design, colour and size of any tombstone. We can add pictures or symbols on the tombstone that show your loved one’s hobbies, work, faith, military service and more, to make it unique. We can also engrave a scripture or your message that says more about your loved one on the tombstone.
Should you want the entire tombstone to be shaped to represent your loved one or something they loved, a tombstone like this can be created for you.
Can I discuss tombstone options with your team?
Yes. Contact us by WhatsApp or visit a branch to discuss your tombstone needs, available materials and designs, and request a personalised tombstone quote.
Can you show me a drawing before I buy?
Certainly. We will prepare a drawing of the tombstone that shows the exact shape, size and colour. You can approve it before we start making the tombstone.
What types of materials are used?
We work mainly in granite because it is strong and lasts many years. A range of granite colours is shown on the display stand and on our website. You can also have a tombstone made of glass.
What information must I get from the cemetery?
Visit the cemetery office and ask for any rules on the size, style, material or engraving they allow for tombstones. Some cemeteries also ask for a permit before a tombstone is placed.
How long does it take to make a stone after I order?
Production of tombstones usually takes about 21 days once the design is final. Extra changes may add a little more time.
How do you polish the tombstone?
We polish the front and back of the tombstone as standard. You may also choose to polish the sides and top of the tombstone at an extra cost.
Can you make any size of stone?
Nearly any tombstone size is possible, but first, ask the cemetery for their maximum tombstone sizes and whether a permit is needed.
What documents should I receive when I buy?
You will receive:
- Our Terms and Conditions
- A sheet with the exact slab measurements
- Receipts for every payment you make
Can I discuss my preferred tombstone design with your team?
Contact us by WhatsApp or visit a branch to discuss your preferred design, request a personalised tombstone quote and understand the next steps.
I want a Tombstone that will last. How do I achieve that?
To create a long-lasting tombstone, choose durable materials like granite or glass, which resist weathering and damage. Consider the climate and potential for erosion when selecting a material and design. Regular cleaning and maintenance can also help extend the lifespan of any headstone
When the tombstone is fully paid for, we finish it and install the tombstone for you.
Can you show me examples of font types, carvings and more?
Yes. Each branch has a display stand with writing samples, carvings, colours and small model tombstones, and our website gallery shows these options too.
