A Memorial is a Major Investment

Selecting a memorial involves a substantial allocation of resources and deliberation. It is a deeply significant undertaking, requiring thoughtful consideration and sensitivity. The average cost of grave monuments varies, but represents an important, permanent decision. The Tegeler Monument Companies (W.S. Tegeler Monument Co. – westside and Loeblein Memorials – eastside) recommend careful and relaxed planning when purchasing a memorial.

When considering arrangements for a funeral or selecting a cemetery plot, it’s important to recognize your autonomy in the decision-making process. You and your family are not required to commit to a monument purchase through a funeral home or cemetery. Instead, there’s a strong case for making such a decision. The memorial you choose is a permanent, visual testament to a life remembered. It’s reasonable and common to defer this decision until after immediate concerns have been addressed and you can fully engage in crafting a fitting tribute. Taking a step back allows careful contemplation on how best to honor your loved one’s memory.

Tegeler Monument Companies are a reliable source of information regarding the various regulations of the cemeteries in your area. We want to provide you with beautiful headstones and monuments to pay tribute to your loved ones. However, some cemeteries have regulations regarding the size and type of memorial in certain areas of the cemetery. It is wise to consult with one of the Tegeler Monument Companies before you purchase your cemetery property. Visit our Cemetery Regulation page for more information about your cemetery.

Do you offer help in choosing a design for my monument?

Visit one of our permanent showrooms to see the different styles of monuments or markers. Discuss your needs with Tegeler or Loeblein Memorials if you cannot visit a showroom. We are also available by phone and email to discuss any questions. Additionally, we offer at-home or in-cemetery meetings. Tegeler Monument Companies will help you design a memorial and complete everything required to produce the memorial, from inscription and design to installation. Other products, such as bronze remembrance lamps, bronze vases, floral attachments, religious items, and even reproduction photos, are available to incorporate into your tribute.

Your wishes and Tegeler – Loeblein Memorials suggestions will combine to help you decide on the appropriate text, floral, epitaphs, and meaningful symbols for your memorial. We will prepare drawings and rubbings or have you review a completed stencil to help you visualize the finished memorial as well as to check for any possible errors before the final work is completed on the tombstones and monuments.
