Are gravestones or markers allowed at Glendale?
Yes, though they must be flat rocks. Memorial preserves generally require that gravestones are naturally occurring stones from the local area, but our area has very few native stones. We have collected some and will continue searching for more. We also encourage our clients to find their own natural stones. Flat, natural (uncut and unpolished) stone can also be purchased from a stone dealer and inscribed. If you prefer, you may plant a NATIVE tree, shrub, or flower as a living monument. In keeping with the natural fauna and flora, no artificial flowers, vases, or other decorations may be placed at the gravesites. Please keep in mind that we use “controlled burns” for grounds maintenance like nature did before white man and Smokey the bear showed up.
