    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I purchase a headstone online for an Alpharetta cemetery?

    Yes. You can choose and personalize a headstone online and arrange delivery to an approved cemetery, funeral home, monument installer, or receiving location. Confirm the cemetery’s requirements before placing the final order.

    Does the cemetery need to approve the headstone?

    Most cemeteries require approval before a memorial is produced or installed. Request written rules covering the permitted memorial style, dimensions, granite color, base, foundation, and installation process.

    Does Clear Stream Monuments install headstones in Alpharetta?

    Installation requirements vary by cemetery. Some cemeteries handle installations directly, while others require the family to hire an approved local monument installer. Our team can coordinate delivery according to the cemetery’s instructions, but installation arrangements must be confirmed separately

    Can I customize the inscription and artwork?

    Yes. Memorials can generally be personalized with names, dates, epitaphs, religious symbols, portraits, flowers, landscapes, military emblems, and other meaningful artwork.

    Will I receive a proof before production?

    Yes. A detailed design proof is provided before production. Review the names, dates, inscriptions, artwork, and layout carefully before giving final approval.

    How long does it take to make a headstone?

    Production time depends on the memorial style, granite selection, customization, design revisions, and current production schedule. Cemetery approval and delivery arrangements can also affect the overall timeline

    What headstone style should I choose?

    The appropriate style depends on your preferences, budget, burial space, and cemetery rules. Obtain the cemetery’s written requirements before selecting an upright headstone, slant memorial, bevel marker, or flat grave marker.

    Can you make a headstone for two people?

    Yes. Companion headstones can be designed for spouses, partners, or family members sharing a burial space or memorial.

    Can I include a photograph on the memorial?

    Many memorial styles can include an engraved portrait, laser-etched image, or ceramic photograph. Confirm that the cemetery permits the selected image format.

    How do I know which dimensions are allowed?

    Contact the cemetery and request the permitted width, height, thickness, base dimensions, and foundation specifications for the burial section.

    Can a headstone be shipped directly to my home?

    The receiving location must be able to safely accept and handle a heavy granite memorial. In many cases, delivery to a cemetery, funeral home, commercial address, or monument installer is more practical. Confirm the delivery requirements with our team before ordering.

    Do you serve communities near Alpharetta?

    Obtain the cemetery’s written monument requirements, confirm the permitted dimensions, identify who will install the memorial, and determine the correct delivery location.
