In-stock flat markers are ready in 2–4 weeks. Special orders may take longer; we’ll let you know up front. Once delivered to Pomona Valley, the cemetery’s own crew sets the marker as part of their regular grounds schedule.

Can I add an inscription to an existing memorial at Pomona Valley?

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. Learn more about on-site engraving →
