NMFC 22064 - Cast Stone Grave Marker Bases | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use NMFC 22064 at Class 60 on quotes and the BOL. Describe clearly: “Bases, grave marker, cast stone enclosed in a plastic shell with installation hardware — packages.”
2. Package to immobilize the cast stone and hardware: double‑wall carton or foam‑lined box, bag and tape the hardware, wrap the plastic shell to prevent scuffs, and fill voids so nothing shifts.
3. For multi-piece moves, place packages on a pallet, shrink-wrap tightly, and use edge protectors. Avoid strapping directly over the plastic shell to prevent deformation.
4. Flag delivery needs common to cemetery jobsites: limited access, appointment, and liftgate. Add these accessorials during booking to prevent re-bills and delays.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 60 removes density math, helping memorial and monument distributors quote faster and avoid reclass disputes.
• Lower total cost of risk: the plastic shell protects the cast stone, reducing damage frequency and claims processing overhead.
• Broader carrier acceptance: non-hazardous freight avoids hazmat fees and simplifies routing across standard LTL networks.
• Operational efficiency: consistent packaging as “packages” streamlines pick/pack workflows when shipping bases and hardware together.
