Frequently Asked Questions 

What materials are best for custom headstones in Bloomington? 

Granite remains the most popular choice for monument maker headstones due to its exceptional durability, natural beauty, and wide range of colors. Granite resists weathering, maintains its finish for decades, and offers versatile design possibilities. Marble and bronze are also excellent options, each offering distinct aesthetic qualities and longevity. Our team can guide you in selecting the right material based on your budget, design preferences, and cemetery guidelines.

How long does it take to complete a custom memorial monument? 

Timeline for custom monument projects typically ranges from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of your design and current project load. Simpler designs with standard engravings move faster, while elaborate custom headstones with detailed etchings, photos, or intricate carvings may require additional time. We'll provide you with a detailed timeline during your consultation so you know exactly when your memorial will be ready.
