 When
you first come in we will ask you a few questions to help us get
started: the name of the cemetery in which your memorial will be placed
and the number of lots or burial plots that you have. This will let us
know the guidelines we will have to follow in creating the memorial,
since each cemetery has its own rules and regulations regarding any
memorial to be installed. Rest assured that the memorial you choose from
Hudson Monuments will meet your cemetery’s guidelines and
regulations.
The
pages below give a brief overview of the monument selection process.
There is a lot of information here, as there are many possibilities when
