Winter setting and storage
Ohio winters do not have to stop a setting. If the foundation is poured, we set. If it has to wait, we hold the monument until spring.
Two ways through winter
Foundation poured
We set through the winter as long as there is no heavy snow on the ground. The monument goes on the finished foundation as usual.
Foundation waits for spring
We take the monument into our care for the winter. We set it in spring or summer, once the foundation is ready.
How storage works
The monument comes into our care and is photographed on arrival. It stays on our winter list, so it is not forgotten when the ground thaws.
Once the foundation is poured, tell us. We put the monument on the next trip to that area and send photos when it is set.
Questions about winter
Do you set in winter?
Yes, as long as there is no heavy snow on the ground and the foundation is poured. If the foundation has to wait for spring, we can store the monument over winter and set it once the foundation is ready.
Do you pour foundations?
No. The foundation is arranged by the cemetery, the funeral home or the dealer. Tell us once it is poured and we will schedule the setting.
How do I know when the monument is set?
You get completion photos when the work is done, the same as any other setting. Trade accounts also see each job in their account.
Can I see the monument while you hold it?
We photograph each monument when it arrives in our care. Ask us and we will send the photo.
