How long do you wait to put a headstone on a grave?The timeline for placing a headstone on a grave in Ireland can vary depending on various factors, including personal preferences, cemetery regulations, and any religious or cultural practices involved. Typically, it's recommended to wait for a certain period after the burial before placing a headstone to allow the ground to settle correctly. Depending on the circumstances, this waiting period can range from several months to a year or longer. It's important to note that different cemeteries may have specific rules and guidelines regarding the placement of headstones. Some cemeteries may require families to obtain permission or adhere to specific design standards before installing a monument. It is advisable to check with the cemetery authorities or the funeral home handling the arrangements to get accurate and up-to-date information on the specific waiting period and any other requirements. We can help you get that information.

What are headstones typically made from?In Ireland, headstones are typically made from a variety of materials, including: Granite: Granite is one of the most popular headstone choices due to its durability, strength, and ability to withstand weathering over time. It is available in various colours, such as black, grey, pink, or white, and can be polished or left with a natural finish. Limestone: Limestone is another commonly used material for headstones in Ireland. It is known for its natural beauty and comes in grey, beige, or white shades. However, limestone is relatively softer than granite and may require more maintenance and care to preserve its appearance. Marble: Marble is an elegant and attractive headstone choice, offering a smooth and polished finish. It comes in various colours, such as white, grey, or black, and can create a timeless and classic look. However, marble is softer and may be more susceptible to weathering and staining over time. Sandstone: Sandstone is occasionally used for headstones in Ireland. It is available in different colours, including yellow, brown, or red, and can provide a more rustic or traditional appearance. However, sandstone is relatively soft and may require regular maintenance to prevent deterioration.
