Many people don't realize that a large portion of monument purchases are made in advance. At Stevens Monuments, at least half of our customers choose to pre-plan their memorial. Pre-buying gives you time to make decisions without pressure, locks in today's pricing, and spares your family from having to make those choices during a time of grief. It's a practical step that can provide real peace of mind.
Another benefit of pre-planning is having the time to shop and compare prices. Families can purchase monuments directly from a monument dealer instead of through a funeral home, which often results in substantial savings. Buying direct also allows you to work one-on-one with the company that will design, manufacture, and install your memorial, helping ensure that your wishes are carried out exactly as intended.
If you have questions about pre-planning a memorial, we're always happy to help.
