I know this video is 11 years old but guys if you're getting into the headstone business then this is NOT the way to install a headstone. I have been installing headstones for 28 years and you do not set a headstone or the base to a headstone onto the concrete while it is still wet, you let the concrete set for at least 24 hours to cure properly and you never pull the form off for at least 24 hours for the same reason. You certainly do not use epoxy to seal two pieces of granite together because the epoxy will eventually crack and chip out, you use either granite setting puddy or all-purpose clear silicone to seal two pieces of granite together. If these guys were to try and install a headstone the way they describe in this video in the cemeteries where I'm from they would be told to come back and fix it the right way or never come back again. Installing a headstone the correct way is fairly simple and can be accomplished in just 2 or 3 hours and if you do it the right way it will stay upright and last for a very very long time.

Sad

Are you there? Wondering if you can tell me how long it takes for an old style concrete grave marker to disintegrate? Finding some of the stones in family plot seem to have disappeared and it doesn't make sense to me. So, if no person was to touch a stone like that, how long do you think it should last? Approximate of course. TY

I notice that you never use setting compound under the base and wondered is that some kind of cemetery rule. Where I live in central Illinois that is standard.

Good work

no rebar in the foundation...fail and an iron pin not completely coated with epoxy will rust over tie Stainless is a better solution.....

Your head is denser than the concrete

Great Info guys and super simple techniques. Thanks for the video 🤘🏼🪦👍🏼

Think about it......" Don't use 2 people to lift the upright on when you can do it yourself" 90% of you fell for this spoof

pretty sure folks this is a spoof version, they are trying to show how not to do this, many vids out there just like this......Lol Come on people........

What pin made out of ?

I have a question. My dad passed away almost a year ago. So I was trying to figure out how to attach a toy (figure from a Nintendo game) to the base ledge. (What the headstone sits on OR on the very top if I cannot attach it to the other). The figure is either plastic or resin (it’s from 1995 so I’m unsure which it is- worst case it will go into a shadowbox)

After 9 months, my dads headstone is finished. But with almost no rain this year, it makes me wonder if we’ll have issues with it sinking. Is there anything we can do to firm up the ground? I’ve taken extra dirt out to the grave to fill in places where it’s sunken in. It wasn’t bad but just wanted to mound it up slightly in case more places sink.

Seeing that this is beside a parking lot, it appears to be a sample for customers to see.

Hi, I have a question, my grandbaby passed away and we had a 1ft by 4ft peice of what I believe is white granite. Can we have this cut to a certain shape and gave it engraved? Who does this kind of stuff? We live in north Idaho. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks so much

If my headstone is 24x12x1 what size would my wooden frame be???

Thank you 💛

Very interesting.Thanks for sharing

Thank you

50 year job, yep el budget

I cannot even believe they set that granite on WET concrete. My husband and I are making our funereal arrangements so our kids won’t have to worry. I hope we don’t spend good money on a monument and these clowns set it. Look at the mess all around the granite. Stupid……

thankyou; possibly adding a layer of steel mesh in the concrete will give even stronger foundation I think

I, appreciate your videos, but this one is say off . The monument company we are friends with dig deep before poring there base. Just not solid. No offense intended. Thanks again 😁

Thank you

Hi. Just watched your sandblasting video on a 3" black marble. 👍👍. I need an advice from you if you don't mind. Is there some kind of a treatment that can be applied to the white painted Kettering's from fading against uv rays?

Your foundation has got to be below frost level. May as well not even put a foundation if its only 3 inches thick. What's the use?

First thing you need to do is dig a concrete-filled footing with re-bars, 3 to 4 feet deep, then level it and install the base on top of that. Otherwise, the tombstone will start to lean, or worse yet, sink. There's a difference between an "economy" job and an "amateurish" effort.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Maybe change the name of the "Economy Momument"

I install monuments for a living. Do not follow these directions..have a professional do it. Yes its more expensive but at least it'll be installed correctly... For starters let the foundation cure before putting the base on.. No shims in between the base and die? Better hope you never have to remove it. Pre mixed concrete? Id like to see what this monument looks like a week later after the base started to settle and sink into the concrete.. Not to mention concrete pulls moisture.. Dont be suprised when your stone begins to flake and crack.

Morbid shit

I was hoping this was a tutorial how to make homemade headstones. I want some as decorations for my rock garden. Funeral homes charge too much

Well you have no idea of what your doing foundation needs to be at least 30 inches deep I would kick your ass out of my cemetery for doing something as shotty as this..

Can't keep your finger out of the lens??? Idiot!

This is a disgrace

The worst thing to do is put concrete under a marker or headstone. If you ever have to level it you’re going to catch hell.

Headstone teetering on the bases post then epoxied to stop it from swiveling? Didnt look like it fit together flush ?

Not much of a footer that's gonna fall over.

WHAT CIRCUS HAVE THEY ESCAPED FROM A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE IS DANGEROUS

Never set a monument in wet concrete. Or anything wet period. Granite, especially polished granite is very prone to drawing up moisture which is then visible through the polished side of the base or die. I want grass around my monument not six inches of concrete..

Looks like a good job to me.
