MCDONALD STONE CO. 

Frequently Asked Questions

How is cost determined? 

Prices begin at $449 + applicable taxes and fees. We operate independently, eliminating hefty third-party markups, allowing us to offer competitive pricing. Primarily, the cost is determined by the type of stone chosen, complexity of design, and the time and materials required for the project, and any additional selections. To learn more about pricing, schedule a complimentary Design Appointment with our artisan who can provide you with a transparent breakdown of the costs involved in creating your desired signage or memorial monument. Our goal is to ensure that you receive a final product that meets both your aesthetic preferences and budget constraints.  

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 delivery and installation 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?
