Most Cemeteries will set the Memorial as soon as it arrives. By the time a Memorial has been Designed, Carved, and Delivered to the Cemetery the dirt on the gravesite has been compacted and the grass that was removed has been replaced and smoothed out.
Since the standard production time for flat grass marker is 3 to 4 weeks and most upright monuments take about 90 days to produce you should begin the process of Designing your Memorial Now to avoid delay.
