Foundation Design (Footings)
What you expect may not be what you get.
Some monument companies cut corners on their foundations — since they know that you can't see how they do their installation, and the results won't be evident for years.

West Point Monument has repaired thousands of these leaning monuments for cemeteries throughout the area.

A guarantee should be backed up by craftsmanship and a commitment to doing the job right — otherwise your guarantee may be worthless.

West Point Monument backs up their guarantee with quality workmanship & 6' deep footings.

The Difference
A 6-foot footing under every stone we set.
- —Below the Nebraska frost line, so freeze-thaw cannot lift or shift the stone.
- —Reinforced concrete, hand-poured and squared to the monument footprint.
- —If your monument ever settles or leans, we straighten it at no additional charge.
Why It Matters
The evidence is in the cemetery itself.
Leaning headstones, sunken markers, monuments that have shifted out of plumb — these are what happens when a foundation is too shallow, too narrow, or too thin.
