Common questions

Helpful answers before a family calls.

Is financing available?

Yes, financing is now available. Call the office at 800-766-4407 and we will explain the options while we talk through your memorial.

What decisions are needed before Sadler & Son can give an accurate quote?

The main decisions are the type of granite or marble memorial, the size, the color, and the design or picture work. Cemetery requirements can also affect the type, length, width, height, and installation details.

What types of memorials can a family choose from?

Families can ask about flat grass markers, upright monuments, companion monuments, benches, slants, beveled markers, boulders, veterans memorials, and custom granite memorials. The cemetery may determine which types are allowed.

Can you create a drawing before the memorial is made?

Yes. If a family has an idea, sketch, photo, or cemetery example, Sadler & Son can use those details to prepare a design proof so family members can review the wording, layout, artwork, and memorial style.

Can you duplicate or adapt a memorial style we saw somewhere else?

Often, yes. A family can send a photo or design number from the gallery. The office can explain how the idea can be adapted to the family's cemetery requirements, granite choice, inscription, and memorial size.

Why are prices not listed on every monument photo?

Many details affect price, including granite color, memorial size, polished surfaces, lettering, carved artwork, porcelain photos, vases, cemetery requirements, delivery, and installation. A quote is clearer after those details are reviewed.

How much does a headstone cost?

Headstone cost depends on granite or marble color, size, shape, finish, inscription, artwork, photos, vases, cemetery requirements, delivery, and installation. Sadler & Son reviews those details before giving a clear quote.

How long does a monument take?

Most monument timelines depend on cemetery approval, design proofing, granite availability, production, delivery, and installation scheduling. The office explains the likely timeline once the memorial style and cemetery are known.

How do I order a custom monument?

Start with the cemetery name or location, preferred memorial style, number of names, design ideas, and contact information. Sadler & Son can then explain cemetery requirements, design proofing, quote details, production, and installation.

Sadler & Son helps families wherever they are. Tell us the cemetery name or city and we will explain its requirements and your options.
