FOOTSTONES

A footstone is a monument made of granite that is placed at the foot of the grave. Most often used in Family plots, but can be put on any grave, provided the cemetery will permit. Sometimes it can be put at the head of the grave on a base.
Footstones come in many sizes, shapes, designs and colors. Price for a footstone depends on the size, shape, design, finish and color of granite.
They can accommodate about 80 letters but the more letters the smaller the letter size.
Once you tell us what you would like to inscribe on it, we will make you a small scale blue-print and send it to you to proof-read. Any change can be made on the paper, but after you signed the blue-print the monument will be sent to production.
If you have an existing footstone in the cemetery we are able to duplicate it for another family member if you need.

Examples of Common Footstones

The most common footstone size is 2 feet wide, one foot deep and one foot high, with a forward slant or bevel of 2 inches.
The top of the footstone always has to be finished, either smooth or polished so that the letters will be visible. The rest is normally made to look like rock pitching; a natural look. However, it can be smoothed or polished all around.
