MEMORIALIZATION
Most purchases of burial space come with opportunities to place a monument or add an inscription, specific to the location. Memorial settings and inscriptions are a seasonal activity, occurring April through November. Floral tributes can be placed graveside year round and are available to purchase seasonally through our webstore. Virtual memorial pages are set up for all burials as a place to share remembrances for those who cannot visit in person.
INSCRIPTIONS Mount Auburn performs inscription work on any shared memorials for a fee. In most locations, this fee is $ 300 plus $ 18 per character.
It is the responsibility of an owner or heir to request an inscription to be completed. Inscriptions done on private monuments should be coordinated directly with a monument dealer and require Cemetery approval for a permit to conduct work onsite.
MONUMENTS For lots permitting a private monument, you must consult a monument dealer. All monuments are approved by the Cemetery in order to conform to specified guidelines before the installation of a monument.
Mount Auburn conducts all foundation and setting of monuments and markers for a fee determined by the size and type of the memorial. Foundation and setting fees start at $ 950.
