❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
​
Can this be placed in any cemetery?
Most cemeteries allow upright granite memorials, but every cemetery has its own specific bylaws regarding size and material. We strongly recommend sending these dimensions (16x20 die on a 24" base) to your cemetery superintendent for approval before purchasing your cemetery monument.
​
Does this arrive engraved?
This listing is for the butterfly headstone and base as pictured. For custom engraving or personalized memorial options, please message us directly! We specialize in high-resolution laser etching and sandblasting to make your customized memorial truly unique.
​
How do I install this 370 lb stone?
Because this is a heavy upright gravestone, it requires professional installation. We recommend coordinating with your cemetery or a local monument setter. Most cemeteries have a specific process for setting a permanent cemetery marker.
​
Can I use this as a garden feature?
Absolutely. Many families use the Economonument as a garden memorial stone. Unlike thin resin markers, this solid granite will never fade, crack, or blow away, making it a permanent fixture of your home landscape.
​
Why is it called an "Economonument"?
We created the Economonument category to fill the gap between small flat markers and massive, expensive estate stones. It provides the height and presence of a large headstone while remaining affordable for families.
