Cemetery Rules for Grave Markers
When choosing a grave marker for a loved one, it's crucial to understand the specific guidelines set by the cemetery. Shevchenko Monuments in Perth Amboy, NJ, provides grave markers that follow cemetery rules. We offer a respectful way to honor loved ones.
Guidelines To Consider
Dimensions
Cemeteries often set strict size limits for grave markers to keep a uniform look. These limits include height and width. Shevchenko Monuments makes sure each marker meets these rules.
Materials
Some materials, like certain metals or woods, may be banned because they wear out or need too much upkeep. Shevchenko offers durable options like granite and bronze, which are widely accepted.
Designs
Some cemeteries limit decorations and sculptures on markers. Shevchenko Monuments offers design options that meet these rules and allow personal touches.
Inscriptions
Markers generally must include the deceased's name, birth date, and date of death. Offensive language or imagery is not permitted. Shevchenko assists in crafting meaningful and appropriate inscriptions.
Placement
The cemetery often specifies where to place the marker. Shevchenko Monuments makes sure the marker is installed correctly.
Permits and Approvals
Some cemeteries require a permit or approval for the marker design. Shevchenko Monuments can help navigate this process.
Religious Considerations
Religious cemeteries may have additional restrictions based on their faith practices. Shevchenko can meet these specific needs.
