Headstones Regulations

Please be advised that as a means of confidentiality, St. Raymond’s Cemetery does not provide information to any outside source. The Cemetery has no affiliation with any Monument Dealers. Once you have chosen a monument company to design or inscribe your headstone, the monument company must submit an application with a sketch and permit fee to the office prior to commencing work. This is to ensure they adhere to the proper regulations for each section. Below are two examples of the regulations for the most visited sections. Please refer to the back of your deed for the specific regulations pertaining to the section of your gravesite. If you have any further questions, kindly contact our office.
