A stable and honest business reputation, with
a full-time commitment to designing, producing, and selling monuments.
You want a firm that was in business yesterday and will be in business
tomorrow.
An attractive indoor and/or outdoor display
where you may view a selection of monuments in different sizes, colours,
materials, and styles. This allows you to see the wide range of choices
available before deciding on your monument.
The ability to listen...to counsel... to help
you create a monument that is artistically designed and personalized.
Knowledge of your cemetery's rules and regulations
governing types and sizes of monuments. You need to know right away if
the cemetery has restrictions that will limit your freedom of choice of
a monument.
A payment policy that is fair and reasonable.
Because most monuments are custom made to your specific name, most monument
retailers request a down payment (usually half the price to be paid) with
the balance due when the monument is placed in the cemetery.
