All cemeteries have regulations regarding what style and size memorial you may place on your lots.  They do vary in how restrictive their regulations are.   Some cemeteries restrict the choice of material that the marker can be made of (granite or bronze) and even tell you what type of design you must have.    Cemeteries normally regulate which way the marker will face and on which end of the grave the marker must be placed.   Due to the increasing number of people burying multiple cremains in a single grave, cemeteries also regulate how many markers may be placed on a single grave.  

Should you find that you would like a memorial which is not permitted by the cemetery, don't just give up.  Most  cemeteries have governing bodies that will listen to your wishes and consider a variation, if it doesn’t infringe on others.   So, if you have not checked with your cemetery to find out their restrictions, you need to.   We have many cemeteries in our data base and may be of assistance. We have a simple questionnaire you can download by clicking (Here) to make sure you don’t overlook something.  Once you have your cemetery’s regulations you need to determine which style of marker is right for you.  For more information click (Here).

Most cemeteries require a foundation under the marker or monument,  and have a setting fee.   For more information click foundations-and-setting-fees
