GETTING STARTED

How to Order

To get started, call us to make sure you are looking at a headstone that will be permitted by your cemetery. Many cemeteries have monument size and shape requirements based on the number of graves a family owns or the section in which the graves were purchased. Some cemeteries only allow specific colors of granite while others require bronze markers. We can explain any memorial restrictions that are relevant to your situation.

Next, select a style and granite color. To offer you the largest selection possible, we source our granites from all over the world! In fact, Haertel Monument Company has the largest selection of granite colors in the area. Visit our office to see just some of the monument design and color options available.

Your monument should be a reflection of the people it represents. To create something meaningful, please consider several important questions:
1) What was the deceased particularly proud of?
2) What were their special interests or hobbies?
3) Were they active in any clubs or organizations?
4) How do you think they would like to be remembered?
With these thoughts in mind, visit our showroom to create the perfect tribute to your loved one.
