This price is for stone only. 
If ordering out of North Mississippi the First step is to contact your cemetery for all restrictions concerning your plot. This can include but not limited to material, style, size, color, design and more including foundation and design approval. Some cemeteries have a form they want filled out that shows the monument specifics, so it is assured to meet restrictions. 
The graphic we send in the design process will have all information needed to fill this out and our customers handle this step. Many cemeteries will construct a foundation. Address this in your contact. Make sure you get the name of the person you consult with and a delivery contact with a direct phone number for the freight Carrier. Do not purchase a monument before you contact the cemetery. These are the steps that save you 2-3 times and even more what our cost is you will pay on this listing. 
Placement/installation is often referred to as setting. When ordering online, you are responsible for setting and any foundation requirements. 
If you the cemetery is in North Mississippi we at Oxford Monument would be honored to set the stone for you. The price depends on stone size and location. 
Many non local customers set smaller stones themselves  (great YouTube videos on setting). This can be contracted. A funeral home that sells stones is a great resource to find a stone setter. Some cemeteries, many burial vault companies are now offering this service.
With this completed you can feel confident purchasing a stone.
