How long do you have to wait before a headstone can go on a grave?

There is no specific rule on how long you need to wait before you can put a headstone on a grave. However, it is generally recommended that you wait for at least six months.
What is the best material for headstones?

Granite, Marble and Limestone are all used to make headstones and each has its pros and cons. We recommend opting for a granite gravestone as this is the most durable stone and will require less restoration work in the future.
Do gravesites have to have accessories?

Absolutely not, there is no requirement for graves to feature accessories. However, many people do opt for graveside ornaments as they allow them to express their love for their passed relative and add some personal touches to their final resting place.
What are the best grave decorations?

No grave decoration or accessory is better or worse than another. Chosen ornaments will simply depend on personal preference. The most popular accessories are usually flower pots, books, hearts, and chippings.
How long does a headstone restoration take?

Again, this will depend on the extent of the restoration and repair works required. If the headstone is on a state of disrepair then this will inevitably take longer than a cleaning. Once we know what restoration work is required for the headstone our craftsmen can provide you with an accurate timeline.
How much does gravestone cleaning cost?

This will depend on how much work needs to be done to the gravestone. A simple cleaning will be cheaper than a headstone restoration and repair with cleaning. For an accurate quote please contact Kelly's Monumental Works directly to discuss your headstone restoration and cleaning needs.
How much does headstone inscription cost?
What can be included on a gravestone inscription?

Gravestone inscriptions are deeply personal and you can include any number of things. The most basic inscriptions feature simply the name and the date of birth and death. While others will feature personal messages, a quote or a poem, etc., that serve as a tribute and a memorial to the deceased.
