Cemetery requirements
Every ground sets its own rules on foundations, size and what may be installed. These are published by the cemeteries themselves. We confirm them again in writing before we carve, so nothing is refused at the gate.
In certain areas shrubs are permitted at either side of an upright monument.
Upright Monument Graves starting at $3,900.
The planting of flowers or shrubs is not permitted at flush marker graves.
Flush Marker Graves starting at $3,000.
Quoted from Calvary Cemetery's published regulations. Rules change. We re-confirm before every installation.

Woodland prohibits such items as candles, ceramic or plaster or plastic angels or statues, decorative or even memorial rocks or signs, fences, shepherd’s hooks, hanging baskets, flags, stuffed animals etc. because they pose a real danger to everyone.

At no time shall any object be attached to a grave marker or niche cover, protrude above the top of an upright headstone, or encroach on an adjacent grave..
Currently, VLM includes Veterans laid to rest in private cemeteries since 1996 who received a VA-provided headstone, flat marker, niche cover, or medallion..
The monument was designed by veterans at the soldiers' home and the Philadelphia-firm of William Struthers and Sons, expert stonemasons, carved the base, capital and statue.
It was first awarded during the Civil War and the eligibility criteria, medal design, and recognition on a recipients' grave marker have all evolved over time.
When burial or memorialization is in a national cemetery, state Veterans' cemetery, or military post/base cemetery, a headstone or marker will be ordered by the cemetery officials based on inscription information provided by the next of kin or authorized representative.
Only an eligible Veteran may receive a government-provided headstone or marker for placement in a private cemetery.
For a medallion to be placed on a privately purchased headstone or marker, fill out the Claim for Government Medallion for Placement in a Private Cemetery (VA Form 40-1330M)..
It's important to note that if a family chooses an urn or a plaque to commemorate a Veteran, VA is prohibited by law from interring that Veteran's remains in a VA national cemetery or from providing a headstone, marker or medallion for placement in any cemetery.
A permanent grave marker will be furnished free of charge by the Government without application from the family.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of an eligible Veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death.
