Frequently Asked Questions

---

We are always more than happy to provide families with a sales quote however there is information that we require to be as accurate as possible such as. 

*Cemetery Gravestone Is Going Into (This is important so we can ensure what we quote you is allowed)

*Is the Gravestone for a Cremation or Casket plot?

*Are you looking for a Flat Grass Marker or Upright Style Gravestone

*What Colour do you want

*Would we be Installing / Delivering or are you picking up

Keep in mind that if we are delivering or installing in a Cemetery we do need to deal with the person who purchased the gravesite or their legal representative on file at the cemetery to get the permit approved. Our staff will assist you in all the steps required to ensure the completion of the Gravestone purchased.

First Call Cemetery Monuments Ltd. is a family-owned & operated monument company with decades of experience in the death care industry. We have 3 fully stocked showrooms located in Calgary, Edmonton & High River

We provide personal service to all Cemeteries in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Hay River & Yellowknife NWT. We also provide seasonal service to portions of Manitoba & BC. If needed we can ship to yourself or a Cemetery that provides Installation outside our regular corridor.

We are a fully equipped Cemetery Monument Company. We have in our shop complete sandblast ability, grinding & polishing machines, as well as an Impact Diamond Etcher & large Laser Etcher. Our vehicles include Crane trucks for installation and an air-equipped van for on-site lettering as well as regular trucks for small jobs & deliveries.

We use only the best suppliers for the production of our Cemetery Headstones & Gravestones. In our showrooms, you will find products from Canada, USA & India. It really depends on the colour of Granite that you are looking for that dictates where we need to source it. We find that most people like Black Granite because of the contrast it has after lettering and design, as well as the clarity for Laser or Diamond Etching, this Granite will be sourced from India and we stock the most popular styles and sizes to ensure a quick turnaround.

We are a full-service Cemetery Monument Company, not an agent or a broker. What this means is you are dealing with us directly and we deal directly with the wholesaler therefore cutting out the middleman. Quite often Funeral Homes, Cemeteries, and town Agents deal with a Monument Company to provide Gravestones in return for a commission or referral fee, this fee can be as high as 35% which ultimately means you are overpaying for your Gravestone and the place you have used has no control over the delivery or installation. We are more than happy to provide our customers with a tour of our facility so that they can see for themselves the process and attention to detail that goes into everything we produce.

I do everything in my power to ensure that all products that we sell are at the absolute lowest price possible. We provide very lenient payment options for families and have a large selection of products that are drastically reduced in price. (We got a deal and passed it on) if you require any assistance please reach out to one of my showrooms.
