The foundation comes first
We set monuments. We don't pour foundations. The cemetery, the funeral home or the dealer arranges the foundation.
Tell us once it is poured and we will schedule the setting. We check the foundation before the monument goes on it.
Monument removal
We can remove an existing monument in most cases. It depends on where it is and whether we have other work in the area.
Often the old monument comes out on the same visit that the new one goes in. A single removal far from our routes may cost more.
Winter setting and storage
We set through the winter when the foundation is poured and there is no heavy snow on the ground.
If the foundation has to wait, we take the monument into our care for the winter. We set it in spring or summer, once the foundation is ready.
Questions
What do you need from me?
The cemetery name and town, plus the section and lot if you have them. We also need 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.
Which cemeteries do you set in?
Any cemetery in Ohio. If the cemetery has its own rules for setters, tell us and we will follow them.
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.
Can you remove an existing monument?
Yes, in most cases. It depends on where the monument is and whether we have other work nearby. Often the old monument comes out on the same visit that the new one goes in.
Do you engrave or add final dates?
No. We deliver and set monuments. Engraving and final dates stay with the company that sold the memorial.
