When property owners or family members are ready to erect a monument or grave marker, they can choose from the following list of licensed monument dealers: click here.
After the size and type of monument or marker has been selected, the monument dealer should complete a Foundation Request Form and forward this form (with the appropriate fee) to the Cemetery Department office. The foundation fee is paid by the monument company to the Cemetery Department, which means that cost is passed along to the purchaser as part of the cost of setting the monument or marker. The Cemetery Department Staff pours all foundations for all monuments or markers that are erected in all City-owned cemeteries.
VA markers are ordered directly from the Veteran's Administration office on Washington Street. After the appropriate form is completed at the VA office, the individual placing the order should bring the form to our main office at Maple Hill Cemetery for a signature. All VA markers being placed in City cemeteries will be delivered to our office at 203 Maple Hill Drive. After the marker is delivered, the individual who placed the order will be contacted; and when the foundation fee is collected (currently $100.80 for VA markers), the foundation will be poured and the VA marker set by the Cemetery Department staff.
