5 Step Guide

How to buy a memorial:

Step 1:
Find out your cemetery’s rules/restrictions. We are happy to do this for you. Simply email us the cemetery’s name, phone number, name(s) to be on memorial, and we’ll call them and get back to you with the answers.

Step 2:
Get an idea about what you want to say on the memorial. Consider the person’s roles in life (mother, daughter, sister, aunt, etc) and determine which ones are most important because space may be limited. Also consider items like crosses, praying hands, flowers, etc.

Step 3:
Place your order and make a deposit on your monument at Cincinnati Monument.

Step 4:
Review design work for accuracy with spelling, dates and design features

Step 5:
After delivery and installation, go to the cemetery to make sure the memorial meets all specifications in your contract and is placed correctly. I
n most cases, Cincinnati Monument will get design proofs for approval to you within seven days, but very complex designs may be slower, as will work in peak seasons.
