Some cemeteries require that only flush-set markers be used, since upright monuments make grounds maintenance difficult. Other cemeteries may limit the height of upright memorials. Whoever sells you the marker should be aware of your cemetery's regulations, but double-check to see that your cemetery will accept the type of memorial you choose. Although cemeteries may set memorial and vault standards, they cannot require the purchasers of plots to purchase these items exclusively from that cemetery. Don't be pressured into buying from any seller until you have compared prices in your locality.
Veterans are eligible for a VA-paid bronze or granite memorial available in several styles.
Families of veterans can also receive funds to be used towards the monument of their choice. Contact the Veterans Administration. Mausoleum A mausoleum is a building usually made of stone with places for above-ground interment. The cost may or may not include a care fund charge.
