Freight delivery
Large stone memorials commonly require secure crating and freight service rather than ordinary parcel delivery.
Serving families beyond Southern California
Headstone shipping options across California and the United States.
Families outside Los Angeles can work with Mecca Stones remotely to plan, review and approve a custom granite or bronze memorial.
How remote memorial design works
You do not need to live in Los Angeles to begin a memorial design. Consultation can be handled by phone, text and electronic communication. Families provide cemetery specifications, approved wording, photographs and design preferences. We then prepare a detailed visual proof for review.
Production begins only after the family approves the complete design. Shipping arrangements are evaluated separately for every project because memorial weight, dimensions, packaging, destination access and receiving requirements vary.
Information needed for a shipping quote
- Destination city, state and ZIP code
- Cemetery name and grave section
- Written cemetery specifications
- Memorial type, size and material
- Whether a granite base is included
- Receiving contact and unloading capability
- Installation arrangements at destination
Important shipping considerations
Receiving arrangements
The destination must be able to receive, unload and safely store the memorial before installation.
Cemetery approval
The family is responsible for obtaining cemetery approval and confirming local installation requirements before production.
California delivery
For projects within California, available delivery methods depend on the destination, memorial size and cemetery arrangements. Contact us with the complete location so we can identify practical options.
Shipping to other states
Nationwide shipping may be available for flat markers, ledgers, upright monuments and bronze memorials. Each project requires an individual freight estimate. Shipping cost and timing cannot be confirmed until dimensions, weight and destination details are known.
Headstone shipping questions
Can you ship directly to a cemetery?
Sometimes. The cemetery must agree to receive the shipment and provide the correct delivery instructions, contact and unloading arrangements.
Is installation included with shipping?
No. Shipping and installation are separate. The receiving cemetery or a qualified local installer generally handles installation.
How much does shipping cost?
Costs vary significantly based on weight, crate dimensions, destination, delivery access and required equipment. We provide a project-specific estimate.
