Arrangements
Monuments + markers
A marker is how a life is remembered for generations. Here's what is allowed in each section, how installation works, and how we look after the stones already here.
Choosing a marker
Use any monument dealer you like
You are free to buy a marker from any dealer. We will send them the size limits for your section, approve the design before it is cut and install the foundation ourselves, so it stays level for decades.
Most families wait six months to a year before ordering, to let the ground settle and to take time over the words.

Heritage stones
Caring for 179 years of stone
About 2,300 of our markers are more than a century old. Marble and sandstone weather, frost heaves foundations, and the occasional falling branch does the rest.
Since 2015 we have reset or repaired 412 stones with a trained conservator, using lime mortar and stainless pins, never cement or epoxy. We do not clean stones with bleach or pressure washers, and we ask visitors not to either.
If a family stone needs attention, tell us. Our conservator will assess it for free, and our Adopt a Stone program can help with the cost of repairs to stones with no living family.
