Making Additions to Existing Memorials- What You Should Do?

Some situations may arise where a family or person may need (or want), after placing the information in a cemetery, to include headstone or monument on an existing memorial.

For instance, the child may need to include final dates in the headstone of his parent, or a family may want to add family names to the memorial. Significant phrases, prayers and quotes may include other additions.

•        Custom designs like, military emblems,religious symbols,company logos or ceramic photographs.

•        Dates for wedding or other important events in life.

Regardless, different types of existing memorial can be easily added.

We have outlined everything that you need to know to add data to an existing memorial in order to make the addition process simple and efficient.

How to add an existing memorial?

Some of the specific information should be added for an existing memorial.

The first step to speed up the process is to find out the creator of the monument to which you wish to add. We keep a file for our customers at Southwest Monuments. We can track the records of the design in our database when we have made your monument and immediately tell you if there is room to add it.

Even those that we did not create, we may add to any memorial. However, you must supply the following information to make additions in your headstones:

How long is it going to take?

• How much time it takes the customer to pay and provide data about the ceiling and the location of the monument inside that cemetery to be added to an existing memorial.

• How long does the monument company spend visiting the monument and making a trace of the stone?

• How much time it takes for the memorial company to get approvals from the cemetery and the family for this addition.

• How much time is required to add a memorial company?

Notice that more complicated designs and letters take longer and the process can be delayed by cooling temperatures, rain and snow.

The greater the information on the cemetery, the particular plot position, the appearance of the memorial, the additional information and its current state and condition, the faster the inscription can begin.

Has the cemetery been added?

Irrespective of the size and type of the new letters, additions to the cemetery almost always can be made on site.

Our experts can finish gravure on site in order to match the style and quality of the ones that are created in our Southwest Monuments in OKC.
