So, apparently there's a crazy delay on headstones. I've been trying for over 2 years to get one for my dad who passed away with Covid. Anyone else had to deal with this? My mom is about to lose her mind over it.
I was told a minimum of six months for granite coming from GA. A year or more for some of the colored stone from overseas.So, apparently there's a crazy delay on headstones.

I recently went through this, also. It largely depends on the composition and, yes, there are delays in the supply chain.So, apparently there's a crazy delay on headstones.

Also, the longer it takes to install the headstone, actually the better. Tell your mother that time will help aid the footer to settle better and create stability for the headstone. Hopefully, that will ease her mindSo, apparently there's a crazy delay on headstones. I've been trying for over 2 years to get one for my dad who passed away with Covid.

Not really. My parents prepurchased their plots decades ago. My father was cremated but we still interred his ashes in the plot and my mother wanted a headstone.Cremation is the answer to those problems!
I've told my wife just get rid of me the easiest way possible. Definitely no funeral. If you want to throw a party - go ahead. Dump my ashes on my favorite running trail and be done with it.Cremation is the answer to those problems!

Thanks to Covid shutdowns forced or not, the world will struggle for a long time to ever catch up in shortages for a lot of things.So, apparently there's a crazy delay on headstones.

I live not too far from the quarries. Countertops are delayed as well.I was told a minimum of six months for granite coming from GA. A year or more for some of the colored stone from overseas.
My mom is 88, at that age, nothing eases her mind!Also, the longer it takes to install the headstone, actually the better. Tell your mother that time will help aid the footer to settle better and create stability for the headstone. Hopefully, that will ease her mind
I hear that! That's why I said "hopefully!"My mom is 88, at that age, nothing eases her mind!
My wife will probably flush mine. JKI've threatened to throw my wife's ashes into the kitty litter box...
My dad died in 1977. My mom remarried, she and my stepdad are being buried in another spot. There is a double tombstone with my mom's name on it. It's my understanding they can be refurbished. I am thinking about getting rid of it and buying a single. Maybe and this will sound funny trade it in.
