<p>Most granite headstones are completed within 4-6 weeks.  We are able to expedite these better then most companies because we do all the engraving on site.  Bronze usually takes 6-8 weeks. Any headstone that has customizations such as size, shape, or color can take up to 4 months.</p>

<p><span id="more-2054"></span></p>
<p>They are also known as companion markers.  We have over 20 different colors of granite to choose from. These companion markers are also offered in bronze. We don&#8217;t charge extra for the extra lettering, like most companies.  Designs are sized accordingly to fit in the corners or middle.  We have no issues fitting in all of the information, since we are able to do all the designing <strong>on site</strong> with our CAD system.  Most of our competitors send out their work, making you wait for weeks to see a proof.  We look forward to helping you create a memorable companion marker.  These markers are most commonly delivered to Roseland Park, St. Clement, Gethsemane Cemetery, Glen Eden Memorial Park-East.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica;"><span id="more-2041"></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">It is important that you know that a cemetery has specific rules and regulations before you buy your headstone.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica;"> All </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">cemeteries regulate the headstones that are placed on the graves within their grounds. Cemetery Rules and Regulations outline requirements such as size, material, and type of headstone. They can and will REFUSE any headstone that does not meet their specifications. Most online companies do not check regulations carefully to make sure what IS and ISN’T permitted.  Headstones, grave markers and monuments are often installed some time after the funeral and burial to allow the ground to settle. This allows you to time to consult with both the cemetery and your grave marker supplier. Since there are so many confusing rules for different sections of cemeteries, it makes sense to work with </span><strong>Lincoln Granite.</strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">  We work closely with the local cemeteries and know the rules.  This gives you confidence in choosing a memorial that will meet all the specific requirements.  </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We will work with you to personalize your granite marker to best memorialize your loved one!</p>
<p><span id="more-2031"></span></p>
<p>We believe that the design must be a representation of the life that was lived and the special memories of their family members. We have over 500 designs to help us do this.  A lot of companies will out source their designs and it can take weeks longer to finalize your stone.  We are one of the few monument companies that have invested in the CAD design system. A mock up of your design can be printed up while you wait.  Your family deserves ease in your time of need.  Call or come in to get started on your design.</p>
<p> If you are looking for a granite memorial marker, we do service Resurrection, Mt. Olivet, and Guardian Angel Cemeteries with personalized markers.  You do not need to purchase directly through the cemetery.  Buy direct and save.  </p>

<p>Below are two great examples of some possibilities. One is a sign for a subdivision entrance. This would also look amazing in front of a business or in a park.  The next picture is a beautiful memorial to honor the previous owner&#8217;s  farmland. We were so honored to help them create this monumental piece.</p>
