Erickson Monuments - Frequently Asked Questions

DO I HAVE TO COME BY THE OFFICE TO BUY A MONUMENT?

No, you do not need to come to the office to buy a monument. We have many examples of monument styles, colors of stone and design ideas that will help you in decide which monument you want at our office. However, we understand that it may be an inconvenience to come to the office whether it's due to distance, time, weather or whatever the reason may be.

That is why we have our online MONUMENT CATALOGUE. This catalogue allows you to look at the different types of monuments we have in stock from the comfort of your own home. When you find a monument email or phone us and we will start the process of creating a monument for you. If by chance there isn't a monument in stock that will work we can easily order one that will fit your needs.

The whole process of buying a monument can be done online, through emails and over the phone. Once you order a monument we can send the design layouts to your email for you to review. If changes are needed just let us know, we'll make the changes and send another layout via email. We will continue this process until you are satisfied with the design layout.

TIME FROM PLACEMENT OF ORDER TO INSTALLATION

Up to twenty-four weeks. Normally it doesn't take that long. Fabrication and delivery of the monument from the quarry, installation of the foundation by the cemetery, design layout approval, even the weather all affect the completion and installation schedule of a monument.

Buying from our selection of in stock monuments can greatly decrease the amount of time it takes.

“STANDARD” OR “CUSTOM” ART

Erickson Monuments has an extensive art library that can be utilized at no extra cost to the customer. The artwork for which there is an extra charge is custom artwork for which there is no future use by other families. Examples of custom work would be portraits or renderings of a specific vehicle or house. Cost of the custom work depends on its complexity.

WHY DO MONUMENT PRICES VARY SO MUCH?

Predicting how much a monument will cost is almost like asking, “How much does a car cost?” There are many variables, but, in general, a monument’s price is affected by size, type/color of material, complexity of shape, and finishes. The simpler the shape and finishes, the lower the price.

PAYMENT TERMS

90% deposit at time of purchase; balance due upon installation of monument. No interest charged until 30 days after installation; then 18% apr is charged, based on the balance due.
