How do I clean a stone on my own safely?
First mix up a 50/50 solution of bleach water. Use a clean soft bristled brush to scrub the stone while applying the solution. Never let the bleach water dry on the stone or it may leave a white coating that is hard to get off. Just simply rinse with clean water after you have removed the desired amount of lichen. You can repeat this process to remove more lichen if it is more severe.

Turn around times
If you order a memorial that we have at our shop a typical turn around from an approved design is 6-8 weeks.
If it's a stone we don't have at our shop, but our supplier has one in stock in Georgia it would be 8-10 week turn around.
If it's a stone that we have to order from overseas, it will typically take 4-5 months to arrive and then another 4ish weeks to do all engraving/delivery/install.

Payment Options
Once you have paid 50% on the memorial order we will get the stone ordered and even engraved when it's time or when it comes in. We will place the stone once the stone is paid in full-- this is on the family's timeline, so if you need additional time to pay it off that is perfectly fine by us. We will just place it once it's paid.
