Normally you would only have to wait about 6 weeks for a headstone. However, there is a logistical backlog in the domestic quarries due to Covid 19. This is making a stone that would Normally take 6 weeks to order take 6 months. There is a silver lining however, wait times have been going down over the past year.

You are going to have a hard time finding a business that will install another companies’ headstone do to the potential financial risk it poses.

All the headstones we sell are granite. Granite is the hardest carving stone on the planet. Granite consists of quarts and feldspar a lot with various other minerals. All these minerals over time form an interlocking structure that creates a uniform and tight composition which allows it to be hard, tough and dense. This tight crystalline structure also means water has a very difficult time penetrating the stone making it quite durable and able to stand up to inclement weather for very long periods of time (we are talking centuries and even millennia) without losing its structural integrity. As a side note they are also beautiful pieces of stone. 

As of right now from the time we order a headstone to when we install the headstone it takes 6 months.
