MichiganHeadstones.com will attempt to contact the cemetery to verify cemetery rules & regulations. This is a courtesy service provided to our customers to verify the order placed is within the cemetery rules and regulations. Providing this service is to help the customer verify the cemetery will accept their order; however, it is solely the responsibility of the buyer to insure the item they are purchasing is within all cemetery rules and regulations.

Cemetery Installation Fees & Regulations
Michigan Headstones™ and MichiganHeadstones.com is not responsible for any cemetery or cemetery installation fees. Prices you see on MichiganHeastones.com do not include any cemetery or cemetery installation fees. Many cemeteries will have fees for installation and endowment care that you will pay directly to them. Check with them to find out what those charges might be. Most cemeteries require payment in full before accepting delivery of a memorial. When you check with them about their rules and regulations, verify when the payment must be made. It may be possible to pay them as soon as you order the memorial.

MichiganHeadstones.com will do everything within its power to ensure that all memorials sold meet the requirements of the cemetery in which it is being installed. It is, however, ultimately the responsibility of the purchaser that the memorial product conforms to cemetery regulations.

Natural Materials
When purchasing a memorial, the purchaser acknowledges that granite is a natural material with variations in color and characteristics. Each of these colors is listed under the section’s granite colors. Occasionally, cemeteries require bronze granite backers be a color of their choosing. Please contact the cemetery to see if a particular granite backer color is required for your bronze memorial marker.

MichiganHeadstones.com also offers many other premium granite backer colors for an additional price. Kindly contact us to know about the price and turnaround time.
