Home MenuHeadstones
The city encourages family members to arrange for their loved ones to have a marker placed at their plot. The city does not order headstones, however, the city does install them. Private citizens are not permitted by City Code to install a headstone. The cost of the headstone installation is $350. Once a headstone is installed, the city will replace any headstones that are damaged by the city at no additional cost to the customer.
It is recommended that a headstone not be installed for at least six months following burial to allow the plot area to settle. Please also keep in mind that with flood irrigation, this will have an impact on the settling of a plot area.
You can contact the funeral home that you worked with to order the headstone or you can order a headstone yourself either in-person or online. Please read the headstone information to learn more about headstone requirements, size limits, delivery address and hours of delivery.
If you notice that a headstone is damaged or if you have any questions regarding headstone installation, please contact the cemetery at 623-349-6170.
