Bases come in all colors listed above and are sized to fit the top stone and/or vases if needed.
Foundations are job specific as not all cemeteries are the same. Some of the newer cemeteries will have concrete strips poured that are used as the foundation for an entire row of stones. Other cemeteries won’t have this, in which case we provide a granite foundation that is sized according to the base and headstone size.

Each style of Vase comes in a variety of colors.
Cameo

Step 2 - Picking a design
Visit our office or email us at office@altonamemorials.ca to discuss design ideas that best represent the loved one. This step is usually the longest to make sure the design is perfect. We usually send out between 2 and 3 different designs for you to choose from, and we work from there to create the final design.
Step 3 - Manufacturing
After you approve the design, pending that the stone is in stock or if it is a special order that needs to be placed, we will proceed to manufacture the monument.
Step 4 - Delivery and installation
Delivery and Installation at the cemetery with photographic evidence.
