| The
best stones are quarried from seams of the hardest, finest
crystalline granite. They are chosen for their fineness
of grain, purity of color, hardness and lack of any visible
imperfections. They are guaranteed to remain that way
forever if they have the Rock of Ages sealmark. |

How can the prices of similarly sized monuments
vary so much? Most
often, the reason is because the quality varies.
Either the stone itself is not as durable or as
fine a grade as it could be, or the craftsmanship
is not very evident. Less expensive monuments
often share these characteristics. The beauty
of a memorial lies in the talent of the artist
and the skill and caring of the engravers. If
cost is an important consideration, it may well
make more sense to reduce the size and design
complexity of the memorial rather than to compromise
on the quality of the stone or the workmanship.

Why does a
person need to think about planing for a memorial
now? If a person doesn't make these arrangements
for himself or herself, those left behind will
be forced to make them without guidance. By planning
ahead, these decisions can be made without the
stress or pressure that accompanies a loss. Pre-need
planning is an important consideration for any
family's peace of mind!

How safe is it to order a monument over the Internet?
When buying a memorial, it's important to actually
be able to see and feel the kind of granite that
is used and to know that your local dealer will
be there when you call. Online ordering cannot
duplicate that interaction. There's also the consideration
of shipping costs and installation arrangements.
