Hi Vikki,
In the 70's it was totally free, but that was a confederate stone through the United Daughters of the Confederacy. They shipped it to me by rail! I had to get it at the rail depot, and I put it on his grave myself. It may still be free, I'll ask my friend about costs, how it came to him, and any other basic questions I can think of. Take care.
It may still be a very easy process to go through.... I'll find out soon.
