Ordering a Marker (Gravestone)
Because the Orange County Cemetery District manages public cemeteries, we are not allowed by law to offer mortuary services or to sell markers, also called gravestones. For your convenience, we have developed a list of marker/memorial companies who can assist you in providing a gravestone for your departed loved one. The vendors on our list deliver markers to our cemeteries on a regular basis and are familiar with our rules and regulations. Please note that all gravestones, niche plates, and memorial name strips must conform to our size requirements. In addition, markers will not be installed until the marker setting fee (installation fee) has been paid. If you are having a photo tile adhered to your marker, the District also requires a photo waiver form to be completed prior to installation, as the District will not take responsibility for the condition or maintenance of photo tiles. To view a PDF copy of the photo waiver form, please click here.

If your loved one was a veteran and you are interested in ordering a marker from the Veterans Administration, please click on the link below for a copy of the application. Completed applications can be returned to the cemetery, along with the required military discharge documents. Once received, the cemetery manager will review the application and submit it to the Veterans Administration. Once applications are submitted, it can take two to six months for the cemetery to receive the marker from the Veterans Administration.
