V.J. Memorials is the place to go if you are looking for a headstone for your loved one. They were very efficient, patient and empathic during our difficult time. Corrine made the process very smoothly for our family. Their turn around time is the fastest in the surrounding counties and their prices are very reasonable for their great quality of work. Would strongly recommend to visit their business you will not be disappointed!

I wanted a personal and meaningful grave marker for my baby. I found Vj memorials online and set up an appointment. This vendor exceeded my expectations. Corinne made the process of purchasing easy and comfortable for me and my husband. I came with my own design and Corinne was able to create a very similar one which I am very happy. She explained and answered all the questions that I had. I am truly grateful for good service she provided us.

We called VJ Memorials after speaking with another business that just didn’t feel welcoming. From the first phone call, they were kind and patient with us. We came in the next day, designed everything, and paid — the whole process was easier than we expected. She was so empathetic and kind during a hard time. We highly recommend them. Our memorial will be placed in Pomona Cemetery.

Common Questions

What Families Ask About Barstow Cemetery

Do you handle everything with Barstow Cemetery District?

Yes. We design and engrave the marker at our Chino factory, and once you approve the proof we work with the cemetery office and ship the finished marker to Barstow. The District has no authorization form for families to sign, so there is nothing extra for you to fill out.

What are Barstow Cemetery District’s visiting hours?

Barstow Cemetery is open 9 am to 4 pm, seven days a week, and closes for lunch from 12 to 1. For holiday hours or grave location questions, call the cemetery office at (760) 256-2797.

What types of memorials are allowed at Barstow Cemetery District?

Barstow Cemetery District allows flat granite markers only. See the Cemetery Regulations section above for every permitted size.

Why can’t I buy the headstone from the cemetery?

Barstow Cemetery District is a public cemetery district, and California law prohibits public cemeteries from selling memorials. Families buy the marker from a monument company like ours, and the District installs it for a setting fee.

What are the setting fees at Barstow Cemetery District?

As of October 20, 2026, Barstow Cemetery District charges these setting fees, paid to the cemetery and separate from the cost of the memorial:

  • Baby marker 12″ × 10″ or cremation companion 24″ × 10″: $250
  • Single marker 24″ × 12″: $350
  • Companion marker 36″ × 14″: $450

The District also keeps an endowment care fund, a savings account that funds the long-term care of the grounds; every cemetery in California is required by law to maintain one.

Who installs the marker at Barstow Cemetery District?

The cemetery’s own grounds crew. We send the finished marker to Barstow by freight, and once it arrives the District’s crew sets it level with the lawn. The setting fee covers this installation.

How long does it take to get a headstone made and set at Barstow Cemetery District?

In-stock flat markers are ready in 2–4 weeks. Special orders may take longer; we’ll let you know up front. After that the marker ships to Barstow, and once it arrives the cemetery crew usually sets it within a week.

Can I add an inscription to an existing memorial at Barstow Cemetery District?

We do not add inscriptions on site at Barstow Cemetery District. If you need a name or date added to a marker already there, call us at (909) 902-9000 and we’ll talk through the options with you.
