MCDONALD STONE CO. 

Frequently Asked Questions

How is cost determined? 

Price minimum is $345 + tax and fees. Our products can be significantly less expensive than traditional signage/gravestones. We operate independently, eliminating hefty third-party markups, which reduces markup and expense. As with our design and stones, cost is custom to individual choices and options. Stone weight begins at $0.50 per pound, engraving begins at $1.15 per square inch, set-up fees only for custom sketching. Additional costs based on choice of options if any. 

What additional options do you provide? 

We provide prospective customers with thousands of different designs, templates, and fonts, as well as allowing them to send us their own designs, images, personal handwriting in place of typical fonts, or you may also enlist our artists to create your own illustration for engraved stone signs from scratch at an additional cost. 

In addition to our economical customer pick-up option, we can deliver and install nationwide. 

Custom stands are built-to-order. Ground level options are below grade anchored metal, two-piece stone, or metal easel display. Elevated or hanging stone signs have metal, stone, or wood beam stands. Customers may also choose bases using a collage of stones and vertical slabs or of course stand-alone boulders. 

Memorial Monuments may be created with embedded porcelain photos, laser etched metal sketches, or traditional blasting. Customers may also choose a personal item to be embedded as part of their memorial. 

Flower vases can be incorporated in traditional polished granite or our "signature look" natural stone memorials. A nice selection of various sizes and colors are in stock to choose from. 

Burial urns may be incorporated in any memorial selection. 

How long will my stone sign take to complete? 

After placing your order and making payment, your stone will be removed from inventory and placed into our production schedule. Rush option is available, but standard lead time is generally 4-8 weeks but may be affected by seasonal workload and weather. For installation and delivery service, professional consideration is given to protecting the surrounding landscape. 

I'm interested. What do I do first?
