Companion Upright Monuments for Families in San Antonio, TX.

Yes. We can return and engrave the final date directly on the stone without removing the monument or disturbing the foundation. Most families pay for the original carving up front and the final date only when it is needed.

It depends. The Archdiocese of San Antonio does not publish its section restrictions online, so the family should ask the cemetery office for the allowed base width. Send us that figure and we will draw two or three options to scale.

Yes. The VA furnishes a government headstone or marker for eligible veterans, and headstones in a national cemetery are federal property. The VA also offers a medallion option for privately purchased markers. Contact the cemetery about what is permitted before ordering a private stone.

It depends. The Archdiocese of San Antonio defines a memorial broadly, covering monuments, headstones, grave markers, tablets, and bronze plaques, but its on-site restrictions are not published online. The family should confirm with the cemetery office, and we will draw the design to what they tell you.

It depends. A companion upright uses one base instead of two, so the granite cost is often lower than two singles — but the engraving cost is similar. Please give us a call for a custom quote and we will price both options side by side.

It depends. Many families choose an independent monument maker, but cemetery rules and installation requirements can vary. Ask your cemetery for its current written requirements and fees before ordering; we can help you review them.
