Climate and durability in Cape May County
Freeze-thaw winters, humid summers
Winters bring periodic hard freezes and freeze-thaw cycles, and humid summers encourage lichen and moss on rough or porous stone. Polished, low-absorption granite sheds water, resists biological growth and keeps lettering crisp.

Who installs the headstone?
Usually the cemetery or a setter it approves, on a concrete foundation poured to the cemetery's specification. We coordinate delivery timing with them.
Can you match an existing family headstone?
Often closely. Send clear daylight photos and measurements of the existing stone; grey granite is the most common match in older sections, and exact matches with decades-old stones aren't always possible.
