One of the most important gifts you can give your loved ones is the gift of planning ahead. You can make the decisions regarding the design of a lasting memorial now and have it designed to fulfill your wishes and expectations. At Haertel Monuments we will assist you in designing a memorial, choosing the color of granite to be used, and composing the inscriptions. Please visit our Words of Comfort section for inspiration.

By planning ahead, you ensure that you will have the exact memorial that you envisioned. By taking these steps, you can alleviate stress and potential conflicts created when grieving family members are confronting the decision of what might have been your intentions.

Another advantage of planning ahead is that the price of the memorial will be protected from future increases. The cost today will be the final cost-it will not increase as the cost of living increases. You may wish to have the memorial installed now or in the future. In either case, the price will not increase.

You can give your family this gift of planning ahead by contacting us. We will be happy to assist you with your plans.
