If you have never had the need to order a grave
marker before, let us help you make this task as easy as possible. Our "Commitment"
page explains in greater detail about our company, and how we can save you
hundreds of dollars, while providing you with only the highest quality from the
country's premier granite and bronze grave marker manufacturers.
The many options available to you may be
overwhelming at first, especially if you have visited other websites that do not
provide you with as much information or choices. We believe you have the right
to make an informed, intelligent decision, based on all of your options. You do
not need to review every section of our website just to order a marker, but we
want to make all of our resources available to those who are interested.
The first step in selecting a marker is to
select the size and design for the
marker. You will want to contact your
cemetery before finalizing all of these details, as many cemeteries have strict
regulations regarding the type of marker, size, etc. that they will accept. If
the cemetery is smaller or in a more rural area, it is likely that the
restrictions will be more relaxed.
Once you have selected the basic design, you can
select the text inscription that you desire. Every marker is different, and the
amount of text possible is determined by the size of the marker and the selected
design. In general, three lines of inscription are commonly used,
including the name, dates, and one additional line of inscription. Each
line is usually about four to six words. If the marker contains a built-in
flower vase, you may be limited to just two or three
lines of inscription.
Once you have settled on a particular design and
the inscription for the marker, you can fill out our online
price quote request. We will respond by e-mail within
48 hours with a detailed itemization of the cost of the marker. If the quote meets with your
approval, we can forward the ordering documents to you by mail, fax, or
e-mail (in Adobe Acrobat PDF format). Once we
receive your signed order and payment, we will prepare a design layout,
which is a computer generated black and white drawing of the marker design
and the inscription information. You will then have the opportunity to make any corrections
necessary. We will not begin the production of the marker until you have approved the
layout.
The normal production time is about six weeks for the production of the marker.
Delivery usually takes 2-7 working days, depending on geographic
location.
If you have any questions, please e-mail us at
bronzeinfo@markersdirect.com. Please
let us know if there is anything we can do to help you in your selection of a
marker.
