Wearly Monuments - Greenwood
Family Owned Since 1899
What you should know:
We know that when a family comes into one of our stores they are generally considering a purchase that they know very little about. We understand that our job is not only to sell you a memorial but to educate you about the different choices and options you have regarding your memorials.
You will never be rushed or pressured into any purchase with us. We want you to know that you are getting the right memorial for your loved one and we realize that many times the right memorial can not be selected in one visit, that is why we will encourage you to take all of the time you need. You are genuinely treated as we would want to be treated if we were the customers.
Common questions that we are asked:
How much do memorials cost?
The four primary factors that effect the cost are: style, size, shape and color. We have adult single one piece markers starting at $290 and adult double one piece markers starting at $582. Single two piece upright monuments starting at $585and double two piece uprights beginning at $995. Please see our "products" tab at the left for more information on different styles.
Most cemeteries require that any memorial is placed on a foundation. The cost for the foundation will vary greatly from one cemetery to another. We have a record of each cemeteries foundation rates at our office and we will gladly process ordering any foundation as a service to you if you wish.
How much does the lettering cost?
Our prices always include names, dates, standard design, delivery, installation as well as marriage dates, emblems (military, fraternal, or other interests), titles (beloved husband, beloved father, etc). There is a minimal additional charge for extra inscription such as epitaphs, poems, etc. Most cemeteries require that any memorial is placed on a foundation. The cost for the foundation will vary greatly from one cemetery to another. We have a record of each cemeteries foundation rates at our office and we will gladly process ordering any foundation as a service to you if you wish.
Are there any "extra" charges?
We will give you a total price that includes the memorial, tax and the foundation. The most common items purchased in addition to the memorial are flower vases and various lettering on the back. There are never any "surprise" charges after your purchase is made.
Some other questions that we are asked:
Do I have to purchase my memorial from the cemetery?
NO! - We unfortunately have heard many times by our customers that they were lead to believe they had to purchase from the cemetery. This is simply untrue and a tactic used by some cemeteries to try and get you to pay their inflated memorial prices. These are usually the same people that try to rush you into a decision. The simple reason for this is, if you price compare you will see most of the time that there are considerable price differences.
We have also heard on many more unfortunate occasions that the cemetery has told someone if they do not purchase from them and the monument gets damaged, they are not responsible.
This is another unethical scare tactic to try and persuade you to purchase your memorial from the cemetery. The damage that occurs to memorials are almost always caused by the equipment used by the cemetery and they ARE 100% responsible for any damage they cause. The monument is your property and anyone including the cemetery is responsible for any damage they cause to your property.
Are there any kind of warranties?
Yes! All of our memorials are guaranteed to be free from any defect for the life of the monument. This means if the memorial ever starts to fade, develop a crack or any other defect, it will be replaced free of charge to you or any descendant of yours, period!
We realize these are just a few questions, we welcome the opportunity to meet with you and discuss any other questions you might have.
