Sorry, You May Have to Wait for Your Tombstone

Supply chain shortages have even hit the tombstone business. Richard Schultz runs the Schultz Monument Company in Tennessee. He told WTVF, "Our normal turn-around time went from eight to ten weeks to literally four-and-a-half to six months." Richard says shipping and labor shortages have a lot to do with how long people have to wait for their tombstones. “My customer rightfully gets frustrated, and I understand their frustration," he continued.
