    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    Frequently asked questions about text completion on gravestones

    1. Quotation and application
    We prepare a quotation that must be approved by the buyer and (all)
    grave rights holders. We then apply for permission for completion at
    the cemetery administration, when they give the go-ahead, the tombstone is collected.

    2. Collection
    To carry out the work with new text on an existing gravestone, own natural stone or
    recycled gravestone from the cemetery, we transport the stone to our stonemasonry.
    If the gravestone is very large (weighs over 150 kg, over 0.7 m² at 10 cm thickness)
    or is very old, it is not certain that we can undertake the assignment, a balance
    is made from case to case. We collect and reassemble at all cemeteries in Sweden.

    3. Drawing
    When the gravestone reaches our stonemasonry, we start by cleaning it, only necessary
    surface or total washing depending on the offer you have chosen. Then a
    preliminary drawing of the completion is created.
    We recommend a renovation of the old text/decoration to recreate
    the same color and contrasts as for the new text.

    4. Approval and production
    A production drawing is sent out for approval by the buyer and (all)
    grave right holders before we start production. In connection with the start of production
    the invoice is sent out, 20 days payment time.

    5. Reassembly
    We expect a delivery time of approx. 6-8 weeks from approval of pick-up
    to reassembly. If there is snow/thaw, there may be delays until the ground conditions are
    good.
    You will receive a confirmation by email with a picture of the gravestone when the stone is mounted.

    We expect a delivery time of approximately 6-8 weeks from collection to reassembly.
    If there is snow or frost, there may be delays until the ground conditions
    are good.

    Necessary washing means a light cleaning of the front of the stone or the surfaces that need to be clean for us to carry out our work. Total washing means thorough cleaning of all surfaces of the stone.

    Painted paint and gilding flakes easily when washed prior to the work on the drawing and new text. We therefore recommend that you renovate the existing text in connection with a text completion. It also minimizes the risk of color differences. For more information read here.

    In most cases, we can engrave text on natural stones, but the surface needs to be “smooth as an eggshell” for us to undertake the task. Contact us via the form here and please attach pictures and measurements to make it easier for us to make an assessment.

    An invoice will be sent by email once you have approved the production drawing and we start
    the text completion. The invoice has a payment period of 20 days.

    Only renovation of existing engraving costs 8550 SEK, the price includes pick-up to our factory and safe reassembly at the cemetery. Contact us via the form here and please attach pictures and measurements to make it easier for us to make an assessment.
