WHY DO MONUMENT PRICES VARY SO MUCH? Predicting how much a monument will cost is almost like asking, “How much does a car cost?” There are many variables, but, in general, a monument’s price is affected by size, type/color of material, complexity of shape, and finishes. The simpler the shape and finishes, the lower the price.

PAYMENT TERMS: 50% deposit at time of purchase; balance due upon installation of monument. No interest charged until 30 days after installation; then 18% apr is charged, based on the balance due. Mastercard, Visa, Discover, and American Express accepted.

AVERAGE TIME FROM PLACEMENT OF ORDER TO INSTALLATION: four weeks to twenty-four weeks. Delivery time of stone from fabricator, installation of foundation by cemetery staff, design and lettering approval, even the weather all affect the completion and installation schedule of a monument.

“STANDARD” OR “CUSTOM” ART: Erickson Monuments has an extensive art library that can be utilized at no extra cost to the customer. The artwork for which there is an extra charge is custom artwork for which there is no future use by other families. Examples of custom work would be portraits or renderings of a specific vehicle or house. Cost of the custom work depends on its complexity.

CUPID AND PSYCHE LOGO: The Italian Carrara marble statue, the signature statue for Erickson Monuments, depicts the Greek mythological figures of Cupid, representing the heart, and Psyche, the mind. The original was carved by Antonio Canova in the 1780’s and is on display in the Louvre. Erickson’s version is of unknown origin. It was brought to Denver from Europe in the 1890’s. The statue was in a Denver home and then given to the Museum of Natural History (now called the Museum of Nature and Science). The museum was Denver’s original art repository. When the Denver Art Museum was formed, the statue was transferred there. It was acquired by Roy Erickson about 1940 and has been on display at Erickson’s since then.
