Cemetery Regulations

What’s Allowed at Bellevue

Bellevue permits flat granite and bronze markers across all standard burial sections, set flush into the lawn. Standard flat markers require a 2-inch sanded edge with a beveled or LMP finish. Upright monuments are granite only and restricted to designated sections: Camelia Urn Garden, Los Robles, Redwood, Willow, and the Oak Upright areas. Pillow, slant, and full upright styles are available in those sections. Every marker must be delivered with a granite foundation extending 2 inches around the base on all sides, 3 inches thick. Side by side markers must be centered across two adjacent plots, and each plot is limited to one marker (with up to three interments recorded on that single stone).

Cremation / Infant 18″ × 9″

The smallest flat marker at Bellevue, 3 inches thick with a 1-inch sanded edge. Cremation markers go in Memory Garden and Palm Urn Garden. Infant markers go in Heather and Section O (Ruby Red or Mahogany granite only in those areas) or other infant sections with no color restrictions.

Cremation / Infant 24″ × 12″

A larger small marker, 3 inches thick, with a 1-inch sanded edge and beveled or LMP finish. Cremation markers go in Los Robles Cremation; infant markers go in Heritage Infant. Military markers in the Veteran Section use this same size but require Sierra White granite with an oak leaf design.

Setting & Installation

Who Sets the Stone at Bellevue

How It Works

What we handle: Design, engraving, and delivery. We fill out the Memorial Marker Installation Authorization form, coordinate with Bellevue’s office, and arrange delivery with the required 48-hour notice. No deliveries after 3:00 PM or on weekends and holidays.

Who sets the marker: Bellevue’s grounds crew sets all markers; outside companies deliver but are not permitted to install on the grounds. The cemetery inspects each memorial on arrival.

Common Questions

What Families Ask About Bellevue

How long does it take to get a headstone made and set at Bellevue?

Most flat markers are ready in 2–4 weeks when the granite size and color are in stock. Special orders may take longer; we’ll let you know up front. Once delivered to Bellevue, the cemetery typically sets the marker within five business days.

What are the setting fees at Bellevue Memorial Park?

Bellevue charges a setting fee paid directly to the cemetery before they accept the marker. Flat markers of any size: $450. Upright monuments, slant markers, and benches: $650 (includes endowment care). These fees are separate from the cost of the memorial. The endowment care fund pays for the long term maintenance of the grounds.

Do you handle the approval process with Bellevue?

Yes. Everything goes through our office. You approve the design proof, we take it from there: paperwork, section verification, delivery coordination. No separate calls to Bellevue on your end.

Can I add an inscription to an existing memorial at Bellevue?

Yes. We add inscriptions to existing memorials on site at Bellevue Memorial Park. We bring our portable engraving equipment right to the gravesite, so there’s no need to disturb the memorial or coordinate a removal. Adding a second name, a death date, or a short inscription typically takes a couple of hours on site.

About the Park

A Historic Inland Empire Landmark

A Place in Ontario Since 1892

Founded by Charles E. Harwood, H.C. Oakley, and Dr. J.W. Oakley, three years after Ontario was incorporated.

Bellevue Memorial Park is a 78-acre private memorial park established in 1892 to serve the families of the Inland Empire. Mrs. Oakley named the grounds after a street in her hometown of Ontario, Canada. Set on level ground shaded by more than 600 trees, the park is the resting place of over 62,500 people, with 15 named private roads, two mausoleums, and three chapels on site. In 2017 the park received the George Chaffey Memorial Award from the City of Ontario for preserving the community’s cultural heritage.

Families from across the Inland Empire are laid to rest at Bellevue, including Ontario, Upland, Montclair, Rancho Cucamonga, and Chino.

Ownership: Private, nonprofit, nondenominational. Operated by the Ontario Cemetery Association since 1892.
