Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions families ask us most.

How long does it take to build and finish a grave?+

Most single graves take between 1 and 3 weeks from groundbreaking to final polish, depending on material, weather, and cemetery access. We'll give you a specific timeline once we understand your requirements.

Can we install a headstone on an older grave?+

Yes. We regularly add or replace headstones on existing graves. We'll visit or ask for photos and measurements to make sure the new headstone fits properly.

Do you handle both Christian and Muslim graves?+

Yes. We build and finish graves according to Christian, Muslim and other religious customs, including correct orientation, symbols and inscriptions.

Which cemeteries do you work in?+

We work in cemeteries across Kampala and surrounding districts. See our Service Areas page, or ask us directly if your cemetery isn't listed.

What materials do you recommend?+

It depends on budget and preference. Granite is the most durable and popular; terrazzo is a cost-effective alternative; marble suits detailed carving. See our Materials We Use page for a full comparison.

How much does it cost?+

Pricing depends on grave size, material, and finishing detail. See our Pricing page for sample packages, or contact us for a specific quote.

Do we need to be present during construction?+

Not necessarily — we can send progress photos and updates by WhatsApp. Many families choose to visit only for key milestones, such as approving the headstone text before engraving.

Can you help arrange the full funeral, not just the grave?+

Yes — our Full Funeral Services cover coordination beyond the grave itself. Let us know what support you need when you contact us.

How do we pay for your services?+

Payment arrangements depend on the service and project agreed with the client. When you request a quotation, our team will explain the available payment options, payment schedule and any applicable terms before work begins. For larger tomb construction, memorial or funeral projects, please contact us directly to discuss the quotation and payment arrangements for your specific requirements.

What if we're not sure exactly what we want yet?+

That's completely normal. Reach out and we'll talk through the options together — there's no obligation, and no pressure to decide on the spot.

Still have a question?

We're happy to talk it through — by phone, WhatsApp, or in person.
