The gravestone guide

Drawing and quote

When you choose a tombstone, it can either be from Edurus’ catalog range or you can make a completely customized stone. At Edurus we offer free advice by phone and email. We are here for you through the ordering process from idea to assembled tombstone.

When you submit a quote request via our order form, we will get back to you within 5 working days.

If it feels overwhelming to choose the tombstone model, granite type, text treatment, decor and options yourself, you can simply fill in one of our contact forms and we will contact you and help you through the ordering process step by step.


Order and application

Both the burial rights holder and the cemetery administration need to approve the tombstone. The burial rights holder is the person(s) ultimately responsible for the grave site. If you are unsure who the holder of the burial rights is in your family, contact the cemetery administration.

The cemetery administration must give its consent to the installation of the tombstone. The drawing and quote that we at Edurus produce for you is also designed as an application to the cemetery administration. It usually takes about 1-2 weeks to get approval from them.


Payment, delivery and installation

The delivery time for the tombstone you order is approx. 12-16 weeks from the start of production for customized products, with the possibility of shorter time for catalog products. The production of the gravestone starts as soon as Edurus has received the approval of both the grave owner and the cemetery administration, and then we send your invoice with a 30-day payment period. The installation of the tombstone is carried out in accordance with the Central Graves Commission’s regulations for safe installation methods. We will send you a preliminary installation plan, but when the tombstone will be installed depends mainly on the soil conditions at the grave site.

Edurus delivers and installs tombstones throughout Sweden.


Warranty and delivery terms

Edurus offers a 25-year safety guarantee on the tombstone. This is provided that the tombstone is not subjected to external violence. The warranty covers cracks in the stone and discoloration. The guarantee does not apply to, for example, dirt, candle wax and oil that has penetrated the gravestone.

For color in text and decoration, Edurus provides a two-year warranty, i.e. that the color does not flake.


Stone care

A gravestone is exposed to weather and external factors, and in order for the stone to remain beautiful over time, it needs care and cleaning.

Edurus is on hand when you need help with, for example, washing, text completion and renovation of your gravestone.
