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.
