How soon after the burial can a stone be erected?
Generally, burial authorities require you to wait at least six months for the ground to settle unless there is a pre-positioned concrete beam to take the weight of the memorial. Please note, if you do want to place the stone on the grave at the six month point, it should be ordered at least twelve weeks before that date as it can take ten weeks to be delivered and two weeks to be lettered and prepared. If there are any questions that have not been covered we would be delighted to chat them through with you. Please either phone or e-mail us (see below).
