Report
I ordered an updated date to my MIL's stone in 7/19/2021, payment received by them 7/31/2021. When I called to check the status of the work I was advised "it's near the end of their season and it won't be completed until 2022." After some general searches to see the timeline for a date to be added in areas with winter the general consensus is 30-60 days. This delay is very frustrating and was NOT communicated until I asked.
Nowhere on the contract is it noted that there are such huge delays, nor did it indicate it would be done next year. Essentially it's an interest-free loan to them. The woman in the phone had zero compassion and was in a rush to get off the phone. While we don't live there still our families do. We will not recommend Stone Art Memorial and will share our poor experience.

We asked to see what 2 of their stone options would look like. They said they would send a picture of what they would look like so we could choose between the 2 templates. They said it would take 6-8 weeks for the templates to arrive. EIGHT MONTHS later, we receive a piece of mail from the company. Inside, 2 of the exact same design with the same product number at the bottom of the sheet. Now the deceased's family is to choose from 2 of the same choice after months of waiting for a measly printed png with a name and dates typed out. Frankly disrespectful. I wish I could give 0 or negative stars.
