A few of the granite markers and upright monuments we’ve placed at Desert View Memorial Park.
Approved Sizes and the Cemetery’s Regulations
Desert View Memorial Park accepts granite memorials, and bronze plaques mounted on a granite base. Flat markers come with either a plain edge or a polished bevel edge, and every granite piece is at least 3 inches thick. Most of the park takes flat markers, from a single grave marker up to a full ledger, and upright monuments are welcome in the sections built for them once the cemetery approves the design. Nothing made of concrete or other man-made material is allowed on a grave at Desert View Cemetery.
Infant Marker
20″ × 10″ × 3″. The smallest flat marker at Desert View, plain edge, set inside a concrete border. Infant sections only.
Single Marker
24″ × 12″ × 3″. A compact single marker with a plain edge. Desert View sets this size inside a concrete border.
Urn Garden Marker

Upright Monument
Custom sizes. Granite die on a granite base, at least 3 inches thick, in the sections that take uprights. Desert View reviews each design before it is made and may call for a concrete foundation under heavier monuments.

What Families Ask About Desert View
Do you handle everything with Desert View?
Yes. We design and engrave the memorial at our Chino factory, and once you approve the design proof we take it from there: paperwork, cemetery approval, and delivery coordination. No separate calls to Desert View on your end.

Desert View charges a setting fee paid directly to the cemetery, separate from the cost of the memorial: $695 for regular flat markers, $895 for companion markers, and $1,195 for ledgers and upright monuments. Fees listed as of September 28, 2026.
Who installs the marker at Desert View?
Desert View’s own grounds crew. We deliver the finished memorial to the cemetery, and their team sets flat markers level with the ground and installs monuments on their foundations. The setting fee covers this installation.
How long does it take to get a headstone made and set at Desert View?
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 Desert View, the cemetery typically sets the marker within a week.
Can I add an inscription to an existing memorial at Desert View?
Yes. We add inscriptions to existing memorials on site at Desert View 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. Learn more about on-site engraving →

The High Desert’s Largest Cemetery
Founded in 1978 by William Truscott and Robert Hinze of the Mt. View Cemetery Corporation, the family behind Mountain View Cemetery in San Bernardino and Montecito Memorial Park in Colton.
Desert View Cemetery sits on Amargosa Road on the south side of Victorville, with 14 developed acres in use and another 38 acres set aside for the future, which makes it the largest cemetery in the city. The grounds include a Veterans Lawn, a Catholic Lawn dedicated in 2004, the Whispering Waters Cremation Garden, and the Cathedral of Roses mausoleum. A chapel seating 200 was added along with an on-site crematory in 2003, and a separate pet garden opened in 2009.
Families from across the High Desert use Desert View, including Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley, Adelanto, Phelan, and Oak Hills.
Ownership: Private. Operated by Dignity Memorial.
