Approved Sizes and the Cemetery’s Regulations
Hillside’s standard memorial is the flat granite marker, in the three sizes below (each size shown is the stone; it includes a 3 inch border around the writing area). Each marker can have one of three border/edge types: a Plain Polished Edge, a 3″ Polished Bevel, or a 3″ Sanded Border. Upright monuments are permitted only in designated areas and only with the Cemetery Manager’s prior approval. Every new memorial must be one solid piece of granite (markers with concrete borders are no longer allowed), and the lot and space number must be engraved in the lower right corner.
Cremation / Baby Marker 22″ × 14″ × 3″
(writing area 16″ × 8″ × 3″). The smallest permitted marker at Hillside, for cremation and infant spaces.
Single / Double Marker 30″ × 18″ × 3″

Companion Marker 42″ × 20″ × 3″
(writing area 36″ × 14″ × 3″). One marker spanning two adjacent spaces.

What Families Say About Us
What Families Ask About Hillside
Do you handle everything with Hillside?
Yes. We design and engrave the memorial at our Chino factory, and once you approve the design proof we take it from there: the City of Redlands’ memorial authorization form, approval, and delivery coordination. No separate calls to the City on your end.
What are Hillside’s visiting hours?
Hillside Memorial Park’s main gates on Alessandro Road automatically open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 7:00 p.m. daily; visitors should exit before closing, as the grounds are closed to the public after that time. For questions, call the cemetery office at (909) 798-7569.
What types of memorials are allowed at Hillside?
Hillside allows flat granite markers in three sizes, plus upright monuments in designated areas with the Cemetery Manager’s prior approval. See the Cemetery Regulations section above for every permitted size and rule.
Why can’t I buy the headstone from the cemetery?
Hillside is owned by the City of Redlands, and California law prohibits public cemeteries from selling memorials. Families buy the marker from a monument company like ours, and the City installs it for a setting fee.
What are the setting fees at Hillside?
The City of Redlands charges a setting fee based on marker size, paid directly to the City and separate from the cost of the memorial: $295 for markers smaller than 30″×18″×3″, $395 for 30″×18″×3″ or larger, and $595 for an approved upright. Resetting an existing marker is $200. Endowment care ($240) is included in Hillside’s property prices, not billed separately. Fees listed as of July 1, 2026.
Who installs the marker at Hillside?
The City of Redlands. We deliver the finished memorial to Hillside, and the City’s crew sets every marker once the authorization form and setting fee are on file.
How long does it take to get a headstone made and set at Hillside?
Most flat markers are ready in 2–6 weeks after the design is approved. After we deliver to Hillside, the City’s grounds crew sets the marker once the authorization form and setting fee are on file. We handle the paperwork and delivery scheduling for you.
Can I add an inscription to an existing memorial at Hillside?
Yes. We add inscriptions to existing memorials on site at Hillside Memorial Park with portable engraving equipment, so the marker doesn’t have to be removed. 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 →
Can I have an upright monument at Hillside?
Upright monuments are allowed only in designated areas and only with the Cemetery Manager’s prior approval. Send us your plot location and we’ll confirm whether an upright is permitted and submit the specifications for approval.

California’s Largest City Owned Cemetery
Founded by Redlands pioneers Edward Judson and Frank Brown, two years before Redlands became a city.
Hillside Memorial Park was established in 1886, with its first burial in 1887. It remained privately owned until 1918, when the City of Redlands took over its operation. Spread across roughly 53 acres of scenic rolling hills planted with one of the largest collections of Italian Cypress trees outside Italy, it is the largest city owned cemetery in California and the oldest continuously operating business in Redlands, holding more than 30,000 interments.
Families from across the surrounding communities are laid to rest at Hillside, including Redlands, Loma Linda, Yucaipa, Highland, and San Bernardino. For well over a century, it has been a resting place for generations of Inland Empire families.
Ownership: Municipal. Owned and operated by the City of Redlands since 1918.
