Foundation Fee Calculator

 Use the foundation fee calculator to calculate approximate cost for a foundation under 600 square inches.
Email or call our office to verify pricing if you are unsure of the calculation and price appearing in the results.
​This calculator is based on $2.06 per surface square inch effective since March 1, 2019 for all foundation under 600 square inches. Do not use the calculator for foundations over 600 square inches, your total will be incorrect as foundation at that size or larger are discounted.
If you are submitting a foundation order for one of our FLAT RATE foundation sizes listed below, please see our price list for more details and accurate charges (they are discounted):
​24" x 12" - $650.00
28" x 12" - $750.00
28" x 16" - $925.00
DISCLAIMER:
The cemetery is not responsible for any issues regarding the price calculator and quotes it may show. The calculator is run by a third-party service. Please verify accurate pricing with the cemetery. Standard procedure for calculating a foundation is as follows:
Monument LENGTH x Monument WIDTH = Surface Square Inches
Surface Square Inches x $2.06 = Base Fee
Base Fee x 10% = M&P Fee
​Base Fee + M&P Fee = Total Foundation Fee

Example, the cost of a 28 inch x 14 inch monument is $888.27
28" x 14" = 392 
392 x $2.06 = $807.52
$807.52 * 10% = $80.75
$807.52 +$80.75 = $888.27
