2. Polchinski Memorials, an independent authorized Rock of Ages
retailer, is a premiere monument and memorial company located in
Hawthorne, in Westchester, NY. The FAQ’s mentioned below provide a
clear idea about the cemetery monuments, mausoleums and services
we provide.

3. How long should you wait before buying a monument?
There are no rules for beginning the process of
selecting a monument. You can begin as soon as
you feel comfortable. The grieving process is
different for each individual and only you know
when you are emotionally ready.

4. What do I need to know about purchasing a monument?
We understand that most people have never
bought a monument before. Polchinski Memorials
acts on your behalf in obtaining all the
information you will need for this
process, including any regulations that your
cemetery may have.

5. What are monuments made of?
Monuments are usually made of granite, marble or bronze.
Granite is the most common material. It is available in many
colors and is the most durable of the choices. Marble monuments
are usually white in color. Bronze is a brown man-made metal
used most often for flat markers and statues.

6. What are typical monument styles?
• Flush markers - these are placed flush with the ground, these are
not very high above the ground, with the back of the stone being
a few inches higher than the front.
• Slant markers - these stand typically 16 or so inches above the
ground with the back of the stone straight vertical, and the front
sloping at about a 45 degree angle.

7. • Traditional upright monument - These are typically a two-piece
memorial consisting of the monument and a base that it is
attached to, or a one piece monument (called a monolith) with a
portion of it buried into the ground.

8. • Ledgers - These are flat to the ground memorials, which cover the
entire grave.
• Garden memorials - These memorials can range from benches to
urns to sundials to almost anything you could imagine

9. What about personalizing a monument?
Techniques such as sandblasting, shaped carving, sculpture and etching
allow scenes and portraits to be placed directly on the memorial, thus
enabling you to tell the story of your loved one's life.
Polchinski Memorials are most experienced in helping you individualize
your memorial, as we have been doing this work since 1883.
