Monument Sizing and Requirements

Each section of the cemetery has specific requirements for monument styles. If the requirements for a section are not listed below, please contact us by email or phone to verify the monument specifications.
Important Reminder:
  • Before finalizing your order with a monument dealer, please verify the monument size with our office. The sizes listed are for monuments intended to cover a single grave. Any monument intended to cover more than one grave must be confirmed with the office.
  • The cemetery is not responsible for any typographical errors in sizing or order details.
Monument Material and Inscriptions:
  • All monuments must be made of granite and may be any color.
  • Inscriptions on the monument must match the name of the individual interred in that specific grave.
  • We cannot allow inscriptions for individuals who are not recorded as interred in the grave.

Calculating Foundation Fees

How to Calculate the Cemetery Foundation Fee
  1. Measure the Foundation Area
    • Multiply the length (in inches) by the width (in inches) to get the total square inches.
    • Example: A 36" x 12" foundation = 432 square inches.
  2. Apply the Foundation Fee
    • Multiply the total square inches by $2.45 per square inch.
    • Example: 432 × $2.45 = $1,058.40.
  3. Add the NJ State Law Maintenance & Preservation Fee
    • Add 10% to the total.
    • Example: $1,058.40 × 1.10 = $1,164.24 (final total).
SEVERE WEATHER & GROUNDS SAFETY

Please avoid entering the cemetery during severe weather or hazardous grounds conditions.

During snow, ice, flooding, high winds, severe storms, or other hazardous conditions, do not enter the cemetery by vehicle or on foot. An open gate does not indicate that the grounds are safe for entry.

Current Weather & Alerts

Weather and grounds conditions determine whether entry is safe. Gate position should not be relied upon as an indication that the cemetery is safe to enter. When hazardous weather or grounds conditions are present, please do not enter the cemetery.

Important Information & Disclaimers

Casket Limits: Maximum 30 inches wide and 400 pounds including the casket. Oversized or overweight caskets may require outside vault company assistance. Fiberboard caskets are not permitted for the first interment of an extra-depth grave.

Funeral Director Identification: The cemetery reserves the right to request valid identification and licensure from funeral directors entering with a funeral procession.

Payment: Payments are online only. In-person payments, physical checks, and money orders are not accepted.

Overtime: Funeral homes are responsible for overtime charges caused by late arrivals. Unpaid overtime must be settled before future interments may be scheduled.

Photography & Video: Photography or recording is not permitted during processions, casket transport, graveside services, setup, lowering, closing of graves, or of cemetery staff.

Live Music & Performances: Not permitted on cemetery grounds except for military funerals.

Refunds: All sales are final. No refunds will be issued.

Privacy: View our Privacy Policy for additional information.

Foundation Fee Policy: Monument foundations are required for cemetery monuments. A pre-poured or pre-existing foundation does not mean the foundation fee was prepaid or included with the grave or interment. Foundation fees are assessed when the foundation is used for monument installation, and all foundations remain cemetery property.
Safety Notice: During snow, ice, severe weather, or hazardous grounds conditions, visitors should not enter the cemetery by vehicle or on foot. An open gate does not indicate that cemetery grounds are safe. Walking on graves or lawn areas during hazardous conditions is not permitted. Weather may create dangerous surfaces. By entering the cemetery, visitors assume all risks. The cemetery disclaims liability for injuries, including slip-and-fall incidents.
