Why aren’t there any prices on this Web site? We don’t include pricing because the cost is determined by many different design elements, such as size, shape, finish, material and engraving.
When is the appropriate time to consider a memorial? We know that now is a difficult time for any type of decision making, so we’ll work with you at your convenience. A memorial is usually selected just after the burial, because it’s important for friends and family to easily locate the gravesite.
What should I know about choosing a memorial? The size, shape, material, color, finish and inscription are very important in selecting your memorial. Some families don’t even realize that certain cemeteries and memorial gardens have specific guidelines regarding memorial types, material, size, etc. Many families choose a memorial that is similar to an existing memorial on the family plot to keep the same look for every generation, while some select a new design entirely or even start their own family plots. Our experienced memorial designers can help you weigh all of your options carefully before making a final decision.
Why should I buy from Wichman Monuments? We understand what you are going through and will treat you with respect and dignity as we assist you in memorializing your loved one. Being a fourth-generation family owned business lends to our experience and understanding of your needs, also unlike cemeteries and local monument dealers, we manufacture all of our own memorials which eliminates any “middle man” expenses and allows us to work directly with your family so we can offer better quality materials, at a better price for all of our families. We believe that how we treat our customers is what defines our relationships with families like yours, generation after generation.
How long does it take for the memorial to be installed? There is normally a 4-6 week production time from placing an order to installation. We suggest that families not delay choosing a memorial so that it is produced and installed in time for special remembrances – such as family milestones, Easter and Decoration Day.
