How are the memorial rocks and trees manufactured and shipped?
The rugged castings are hollow, approx. one-inch thick, and open at the bottom. The rocks are 50-60 lbs., but are exact replicas of ones that weigh 800-1,000 lbs. All are manufactured from construction-grade GFRC cast stone to withstand 9,000 psi (pounds per square inch) of pressure and a variety of climates with minimal maintenance and care. They are shipped either to the funeral home, cemetery, monument company or direct to the family via FedEx Ground in 350-lb. test, double-walled corrugated boxes using an industrial foam-in-place packaging system.
