Navigating Cemetery Regulations for Your Custom Headstone

Posted on March 1, 2025 | By Bedrock Boulders Team

Designing a custom headstone involves more than aesthetics—cemetery regulations play a critical role. At Bedrock Boulders, we help families in Houston navigate these rules to create compliant, meaningful memorials.

Regulations vary by cemetery, often specifying size, material, and placement. For example, some cemeteries limit headstone height or width to maintain uniformity, while others restrict materials to ensure durability. Our engineered stone meets most cemetery standards, offering weather resistance and versatility for intricate designs. We also consider installation requirements, ensuring the headstone is securely placed to withstand Houston’s storms.

Before starting, check with your cemetery for specific guidelines—some may require permits or pre-approval for engravings. Our team assists by coordinating with cemetery staff to confirm compliance, saving you time and stress. We also provide flexible design options to work within restrictions while honoring your vision, from simple markers to elaborate monuments. With Bedrock Boulders, you can create a lasting tribute that meets both your needs and cemetery requirements.
