In an effort to keep choosing a memorial simple, the following is a list of what is included when purchasing a memorial from Carman Granite.

• the monument or marker of your choice
• selected standard designs from our collection of over 20,000
• all lettering to be engraved when first produced (See note below under “Extra’s”)
• proper sized standard gray base
• properly sized foundation (if needed)
• delivery & installation within our main service area
• scaled computer drawing, upon request
• our 10 year “Keep it level” guarantee
• full material & craftsmanship guarantee

Note: The greatest misunderstanding about what is included in the purchase of a memorial concerns future engraving of the death date. Carman Granite has never collected fees for this service in advance. Why?

It is illegal to collect money for services to be provided in the future, without establishing a trust account for that money. It becomes too cumbersome & expensive to administer small trust accounts, since the fee for completing this work is minimal.

We have seen situations where estate executors were not aware of where the original memorial was crafted. In making arrangements with another company to complete the final information, any prepaid funds would be lost.

In an effort to eliminate that possibility & at the same time ensure that future engraving will match exactly, Carman Granite can provide you with a Direction & Authorization document. When placed with your will, you will ensure that your estate executors know how to contact us when the time comes.

When it comes to repairing & restoring existing monuments, you can be assured that our experience in the industry since 1922 comes in very handy. Whether it be raising & releveling crooked monuments or refurbishing the lettering & designs of a hard to read monument, we specialize in restorations of any kind.

We will provide expert analysis & review all possible options in an effort to restore the beauty of any older monument
