Engraving process- In the engraving of monuments the depth of cutting is very important to an enduring presentation of the stone. We strive to engrave each stone to a depth that ensures the natural shadowing effect of the well carved inscriptions that will be readable for eternity.  On black we standard engrave skin cut depth as black stones will not naturally shadow.

Please contact them for this guidance prior to purchasing a stone.

In addition, many Cemeteries will require design approval as standard procedure. The graphic we provide will meet their needs for approval and we will not engrave any stone prior to your approval. Again, in any instance, if the design does not meet the cemetery approval and we are unable to make changes that will allow the stone to be placed we are happy to refund 100%.
5. The setting or placement of the stone will be your responsibility. Many cemeteries will offer stone setting for a fee, some retail dealers will set stones shipped in but not all. In some cases, our customers set the stone. We do not provide specific instructions on this but would refer you to many sources of stone setting on YouTube. Most stones will require a foundation and that is also your responsibility to contract, check with your cemetery. A great resource for setting of a stone where a cemetery does not offer the service is a local funeral home that sells stones or a burial vault company. Can be a resource for this service.

8. Carved Impressions ships thousands of stones per year with a less than 1% damage occurrence. Please make sure to inspect or have your delivery location inspect the stone for damage.  If a stone is damaged send us pictures of the stone and we will handle filling the USPS claim and carve a replacement.  We ship in USPS priority mail boxes to utilize the most economical option available keeping our pricing as affordable as we can.  This has proven over the years to be effective.  That said some are damaged.  We can take this stone out of this USPS program into a larger more padded box.  This will add 129.00 to your cost of the stone.  If you want to do this, simply contact us for link for payment.
9. We will deliver a stone with the exact engraving you have approved. Please note it is your responsibility to carefully inspect every character in the graphic proof we send you for accuracy. We highly suggest having more than one individual involved in this process to eliminate errors. When you approve the graphic that is what we will engrave- there is no opportunity after that initial engraving to change a mistake and in most cases a new stone is less expensive than attempting to correct an error. Understand that any error in engraving that you have approved will not be corrected and the engraving will stand as completed so we cannot stress enough the thoroughness that should be employed on examining the graphic for errors.
Purchasing a stone through the internet can have both an economic savings and be personally fulfilling with your involvement. We are here to try to assist and answer any questions that you send through the contact seller option. We see the creation of every monument we produce as an honor extended to us to commemorate a life and we appreciate your consideration of us with that honor. Carved Impressions
