Q: What action should be taken when a death occurs out of state?

When a death occurs out of state, you should first contact the funeral home that will be handling the funeral arrangements. Most funeral homes provide transportation, and will make the necessary travel arrangements on your behalf.

Q: Who cares for the markers?

The cemetery grounds are maintained by our staff, but the individual marker is cared for by the family. If the marker has sunken into the ground, it will be adjusted by the cemetery as a courtesy.

Q: How long should a family wait after interment to order a marker?

Families may order a marker at any time. A monument company will need to file an application, along with a foundation check - once the monument company has received written approval from the cemetery, they can process your order.
