Knowing what to expect during a tombstone installation helps families feel prepared and supported.

The Process of Tombstone Installation

The steps followed during a professional installation are designed to ensure stability and long-term durability:

• Site preparation: The ground is assessed and leveled to provide a solid foundation.
• Foundation setting: Depending on the soil condition, a concrete base or support is prepared.
• Placement of the tombstone: The stone is carefully secured to prevent tilting or sinking over time.
• Final touches: Engravings, vases, or decorations are added to personalize the memorial.

This careful process is why Mankweng Tombstones has become a trusted name across South Africa. For families considering material options, our guide on how to choose the right material for your loved one’s memorial provides useful insights.
