The Cardinal setting standard

A monument is set once and stands for generations. We set each one the same careful way.

  • Foundation checked before the monument goes on
  • Setting compound on the joints
  • Level and plumb checked before we leave
  • Photos sent to you when it is done

Questions before you book

What should I send with my request?

Send the cemetery name and town, plus the section and lot if you have them. Add the monument type and size, where it is now, and whether the foundation is poured.

Do you pour foundations?

No. The foundation is arranged by the cemetery, the funeral home or the dealer. Tell us once it is poured and we will schedule the setting.

How is the price set?

Setting is a flat rate based on the county and the weight of the monument. Trade accounts get our rate sheet. Monuments over 2,100 pounds are quoted one by one.

Do you set in winter?

Yes, as long as there is no heavy snow on the ground and the foundation is poured. If the foundation has to wait for spring, we can store the monument over winter and set it once the foundation is ready.

Tell us about the monument

Send the cemetery, the monument and where it is now. We reply with a price and a date.
