Cemetery Requirements
A large part of your decision making process starts with the cemetery rules and regulations. We have great relationships with various local cemeteries. Some cemeteries require bronze or flat markers styles. Our knowledgeable staff will help guide you to selecting the right size grave marker for your cemetery.
Every headstone is placed on a foundation. The foundation is either a concrete or stone base. Majority of cemeteries have a concrete foundation and is poured 30+ inches deep. This keeps the monument level and secure at the cemetery from any settling. All foundation costs are collected by us and sent to the cemetery. We then send the foundation money and a design proof for approval.
