4. How do I purchase a headstone for a grave?

A monument can be ordered through any monument company or mortuary. Companies can be found online or through the phone book. Bronze markers are not recommended for the Louis B. Hazelton cemetery due to extreme weather and irrigation conditions.

Headstone installation fee must be paid prior to markers being installed. ALL UNAUTHORIZED INSTALLATION OF HEADSTONES WILL BE REMOVED.
