How To Order A Headstone
Ordering a headstone or monument can be a daunting task. At Classic Monument, our staff understands and we are here to answer any questions you may have. Let us help.
1. Many cemeteries have restrictions and/or guidelines that must be met when ordering a headstone. The first thing you need to do is check with the cemetery to see what, if any, their restrictions are as well as any fees that may be charged for placement and perpetual care of the monument.

2. Chose the type of monument that you would like that meets the requirements of the cemetery. We highly recommend foundation stones. It is a granite stone that sits under the base of your memorial to provide stability and help guard against sinking.
3. Chose the design elements, such as a cross or an angel. Maybe your loved one had a passion for cooking or sports. We have design features that will highlight that memory for you.
4. Contact us either with a personal visit at 1255 St. Vincent Ave in Shreveport, LA or by phone at 318-222-5543. You can also email us at classicmonument@aol.com with an attached picture of what you would like and we will give you a quote.
5. We will send you a proof of what the monument will look like so that you can check the spelling and the dates as well as the design elements. Then make whatever changes you would like to the design. We don't cut the stone until you approve of the design.
6. After the monument is complete, we'll contact you to let you know your monument has been set.
It's just that simple.
