Question 1

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Stop into our location or give us a call. We will sit with you and customize a monument that is as unique as the person you are honoring. We will assist you with the design, granite color, layout, and a variety of other personalized options that are sure to conform to the cemetery's guidelines.

Question 2

What is the process and timeline after ordering a memorial?

Accepted Answer

Once you order your memorial, the process typically takes between 30 to 120 days, depending on the granite type and size. Initially, we will discuss your preferences and design your monument using our computer software during our first meeting. This allows you to see various layouts and make informed decisions. After finalizing the design, we handle all necessary permits and applications with your cemetery. We also arrange for the foundation payment and ensure everything is approved. The granite is then selected or imported to our facility, where our master craftsmen begin the meticulous process of carving, cutting, etching, and sandblasting your designs. Once the cemetery notifies us that the concrete foundation is ready, we schedule the installation of your monument.

Question 3

Why should I choose New Jersey Monument Company / Star of David Monuments?

Accepted Answer

Our basic foundation is we are a value-driven company. We have been selling monuments, markers, and memorials since 2004, however, we have people on staff who have been in the industry for well over 20 years. We are a "mom and pop" type company that takes pride in being a smaller operation. We take a personal interest in each family we work with and do not operate a turnstile, mass-production type of business. With this in mind, our low overhead as compared to our competitors keeps our pricing to you significantly lower. Please keep in mind that paying a little less does not mean lesser quality workmanship or flawed materials.

Question 4

Can we have a consultation at home?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer complimentary at-home consultations. Many families find it comforting and convenient to gather at home and design the monument together. Our representative will gladly meet with you in the comfort of your home to ensure a personalized and thoughtful design process.

Question 5

Can you duplicate a relative's monument?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can duplicate any stone, marker, or monument. If you need to match a footstone in a family plot, we can visit the cemetery to match the granite type, take measurements, and create a "rubbing"—an imprint of the existing monument's details and designs. Please note that granite is a natural material and may have variations in color and characteristics.

Question 6

Can you inscribe in other languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can inscribe in other languages. We ask that families provide the correct spelling and layout to ensure accuracy, as we cannot be responsible for incorrect spellings in other languages.
