Let me start with a brief comment on preplanning end of life arrangements: I cannot think of a more loving gift you can leave for your Family than not having them plan these things on your behalf after you're gone. Preplanning removes all the questions and concerns regarding what you preferred and wanted. We began at Wellman Monument to have them fabricate a headstone and began the process with Caleb. He walked us through the selection process and was excellent to work with! We chose a granite that we liked and was not widely used in the cemetery. Wellman has a wide selection of granite and shapes to choose from and if you don't see what you want they have the capability to fabricate and install any customization you might prefer. Charlie Wellman took over the process after we placed our initial order.
