Dealer workflow

Granite Monument Ordering Checklist

A complete monument inquiry helps the supplier confirm availability and quote the intended work without avoidable revisions. The approved drawing and written order remain the final authority, but this checklist helps dealers gather the right information first.

Design and stone selection

Design reference
Provide the Angel Granites design number, a supplier reference, approved sketch or clear photograph. Identify any features that must be changed or preserved.
Granite color
Use the recognized stone name and confirm whether natural block variation is acceptable for all pieces in the assembly.
Stock or custom production
State whether the request must match current U.S. inventory or can follow a custom-production timeline.
Quantity
List the required quantity for each component or complete assembly, especially when ordering duplicate markers, vases or multi-piece projects.

Fabrication specification

Component dimensions
List die, base, marker, bench seat, support and accessory sizes independently with labeled width, height, depth or thickness.
Finish schedule
Identify the finish on every visible face, top, end, margin and edge. Expand abbreviations when there is any possibility of differing interpretation.
Lettering and artwork
Supply final spelling, dates, layout, emblems, portraits and vector artwork where available. State carving, etching, lithichrome and panel requirements.
Assembly details
Confirm joints, holes, dowels, vase placement, liners, niche doors and other interfaces between components.

Approval, packing and delivery

Cemetery approval
Verify size limits, foundation rules, permitted materials and required dealer or installer documentation before production.
Drawing approval
Compare every dimension, inscription and finish note with the written order. Resolve discrepancies before approving.
Packing requirements
Identify special crate, pallet, separation, labeling or handling needs and confirm whether related pieces must ship together.
Delivery information
Provide the receiving business, complete address, contact, unloading capability, requested timing and any appointment constraints.
