Families and monument companies, please email the cemetery before purchasing a headstone for placement in Park Cemetery. We do have regulations for height, length, and type of headstone for all sections within Park Cemetery.
Please note Park Cemetery does not permit monuments/headstones or markers that have been purchased online from dealers nor will we accept delivery of any headstone or marker to our cemetery.
We do require that all upright monuments are 8″ thick and are no taller than 40″ in height including the base. All bases placed must be 8″ in height for upright monuments and 6″ in height for slant headstones. Flush markers must be 4″ thick. Monuments that are less than these requirements will be taken off the grave and the monument company will be asked to pick up the headstone.
In addition, all monuments must have the grave location sandblasted onto the backside of the monument. Markers must have the grave location sandblasted on the side of the marker. Any monuments and markers which do not have their location engraved will be removed and stored until an monument company has completed this work.
Park Cemetery allows both Porcelains and Etchings on headstones. We also allow granite vases, as long as the vase is adhered to the base.

We also require that every monument has a concrete footing underneath. Concrete footings may be ordered through the cemetery between April and November of each season. There is a footing fee, also know as a foundation fee which may be paid by check or money order to Park Cemetery Association. The foundation fee is charged by the square foot of the headstones base dimensions. Below is the schedule of fees:
The price for our foundations is $250 per square foot. Please email the office if you need assistance computing the price per square foot.
