Stone & Marker: Headstones Without the Sales Pitch

Field notes

Stone & Marker breaks a difficult purchase and benefits process into discrete questions, including VA Form 40-1330, pre-need eligibility, marker types, burial allowances, and installation charges. Its cost framework distinguishes the stone and engraving from foundation, permit, delivery, and setting fees. The site also reaches beyond immediate arrangements: it covers ancestor grave research, DD-214 alternatives, safe cleaning, damaged-marker replacement, and Civil War and Confederate designs. The homepage attributes its material to government publications, archival guidance, cemetery fee schedules, and published industry pricing.
