Pre-Arranged Cemetery Monument Plan

Learn About The Pre-Arranged Cemetery Monument Plan from Rome Monument

Planning for your cemetery headstone, marker or monument should be as much a part of planning for end-of-life as a will, insurance, and cemetery and funeral directives. That’s why Rome Monument offers our exclusive “Pre-Arranged Cemetery Monument Plan” for families who want to take the responsibility and cost for the design, creation, and installation of a cemetery memorial off grieving members of your family. It gives you and your family the opportunity to get a monument exactly the way you want it, from the shape of the monument, to the size, to the cost of the monument, to the artwork and wording on the front. Also, it gives you time to consider if you want a companion monument, a family monument, or even an estate monument or mausoleum.

The Pre-Arranged Cemetery Monument Plan Is the best pre-need headstone program in Pittsburgh and the Tri-State area including Ohio and West Virginia. As opposed to at-need monument planning, which cannot guarantee that the wishes of the deceased are expressed accurately, pre-need planning allows you to pre-design, pre-plan and pre-pay for a truly high quality monument prior to your passing and according to your wishes.

You can learn more about the plan, the benefits of pre-arranging your cemetery monument, see a list of our local showrooms, examples of types of monuments and more by requesting our Pre-Arranged Cemetery Monument Plan brochure.

Name Your Own Price

Tell us what you want to spend on your pre-arranged cemetery monument by naming your own price. We will provide you with the highest quality monument at the price you name by maximizing the grade of the granite, and the size and shape of the monument.  In addition, there is no extra charge for what goes on the face of the monument, including letters, artwork, inscriptions, etchings, and porcelain photos.

The cost of a monument is determined by:

1) Quality of Granite – the better the granite, the longer your monument will last and the less it will be affected by weather conditions, outdoor elements, etc.

2) Size of monument – this determines how much granite goes into the monument. Larger monuments require a granite base as well. 

3) Shape – Basic rectangular shapes will cost less than custom shapes that need to be sculpted. Some shapes, such as those of heart and angel-shaped monuments, are pre-cast and will cost less than custom shapes.

4) Artwork – Most monument companies charge for artwork, lettering, inscriptions, porcelain photos, and other elements that go on the face of your monument. At Rome, we do these at NO EXTRA COST to you.

You Choose Your Payment Option

We make purchasing your monument easy! Only Rome Monument offers a 24 or 36 month “Extended Payment Plan” for your pre-arranged cemetery monument. You can also choose to take care of all financial obligations by paying in full at the start of your project.  All money is held in a secure account, untouched by Rome Monument and for YOUR monument only, until the monument is installed.
