Each cemetery has specific rules and regulations regarding the size and shape of memorials, which can vary depending on the section of the cemetery where your plot is located. Our memorial specialists are available to assist you with this information. Be sure to contact us to learn more about custom gravestones.

In our experience, you will receive a professional draft within three to four weeks. Once you review and approve it, your memorial will go into full production, which takes about three to five months. We will notify you as soon as your memorial is delivered to our shop.

Our best estimate for custom orders, like special shapes, hand carvings, non-standard sizes or finishes, and some imported colors, may take longer, approximately six to nine months. For more information on headstones, contact Cullis Memorials today.

The simple answer is no. There are hundreds of granite types and colors from around the world, but only a few dozen are suitable for monuments.

It’s important to always ask what state, country, or part of the world the granite comes from. For example, there are many types of gray granite. Barre Gray comes from Barre, Vermont, while Classic Gray is from Georgia. Both appear similar on the surface, but Barre Gray is known to be far superior and will not hold moisture like the less expensive and softer Georgia Gray granite.

We only use Barre Gray Granite from Barre, Vermont. Barre Gray Granite is widely considered to be one of the best granites available due to its exceptional quality, texture, durability, and weather resistance. For more information about granite gravestones, contact us today.

Cullis Memorials sources its granite from the Rock of Ages quarries in Vermont. 

Granite sourced from North American quarries is renowned for its exceptional durability, vibrant color richness, and superior engraving clarity. This high-quality granite ensures that memorials maintain their beauty and legibility over time. Additionally, selecting North American granite can result in faster delivery times compared to overseas options. To learn more about granite gravestones, contact us today.

Quarry-direct monument companies source granite directly from the quarry and work with manufacturers to craft your monument. This approach guarantees superior quality, faster delivery, and more competitive pricing. In contrast, funeral homes and cemetery caretakers often rely on third-party vendors and external manufacturers, which can result in unknown quality, uncertain quarry origins, longer wait times, and higher costs due to added middleman fees.

The cost of headstones varies based on several factors, with size and material being the most significant. The material you select influences customization options such as lettering, finishes, and artwork. According to Headstones & Markers, flat markers typically range from 20 to 28 inches in length and 10 to 16 inches in width, which can also impact pricing.

Purchasing a memorial is a major investment of time and money and should be undertaken with great thought and care. Whether you are making immediate or pre-need arrangements for a funeral or purchasing cemetery property, you should know that you and your family ARE NOT obligated to purchase a monument from a funeral home or a cemetery. Unfortunately, many cemeteries, especially those that are corporately owned, routinely employ high-pressure sales tactics to intimidate customers into buying from them. A good argument can be made to delay the purchase of a memorial, the one visual and lasting tribute, until other matters are complete. Contact us if you have any questions about headstones for an upcoming memorial service.
