Cemeteries in Mercer County
Mercer County has municipal, church, Catholic and private cemeteries. Each sets its own rules on memorial size, style, materials and foundations, and many require a dimensioned drawing for approval before the stone is made.
Our cemetery headstone rules guide lists the questions to ask. We size and draw every design to your cemetery's written regulations so it's approved first time.
Climate and durability in Mercer 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.
When headstones are installed
Most of the year
Many cemeteries set monuments for most of the year, pausing during hard freezes, snow or very wet ground. Ask your cemetery how far ahead installations are booked. See how long to wait after burial.

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.
