Memorials We’ve Placed at Holy Cross
A few of the granite markers we’ve placed at Holy Cross Cemetery.
What’s Allowed at Holy Cross
Holy Cross is a Catholic cemetery operated by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, so every memorial follows the Archdiocese’s own installation rules. Markers must be granite or bronze, only one flush-type memorial is allowed per grave, and no marking may extend above the surface of the ground, so upright monuments are not permitted here. Every memorial must include a cross, properly proportioned and worked into the design. Engraving highlights are limited to black or white lithochrome; colored paint is not permitted and any memorial finished with it will be removed. An LMP (lawn-mower-proof) edge is highly recommended. Families who choose a straight edge instead must sign a waiver at the cemetery office acknowledging possible damage, since Holy Cross will not repair or remake a memorial installed that way.

Who Sets the Stone at Holy Cross
What we handle: Design, engraving, and delivery. We submit your design for the cemetery office’s approval and obtain the required installation permit ahead of time, so your marker is ready to set when it arrives. Deliveries go out Monday through Friday, since Holy Cross only accepts them on weekdays.
Who sets the marker: Holy Cross’s own grounds crew sets every marker. Once we deliver the finished memorial to the cemetery, their team places it level with the ground.
What Families Ask About Holy Cross
What are Holy Cross’s visiting hours?
Holy Cross Cemetery is open 8:00 am to 6:00 pm in spring and summer, and 8:00 am to 5:00 pm in fall and winter. For holiday hours or section access questions, call the cemetery office at (909) 627-3602.
What types of memorials are allowed at Holy Cross?
Holy Cross allows flat granite and bronze markers only. See the Cemetery Regulations section above for every permitted size and section rule.
What are the setting fees at Holy Cross?
Holy Cross charges a setting fee of $595 for granite markers and $695 for bronze markers, paid directly to the cemetery and due before installation. Endowment care is included in that fee, not billed separately. The endowment care fund is a savings account that funds the long-term care of the grounds; every cemetery in California is required by law to maintain one.
How long does it take to get a headstone made and set at Holy Cross?
In-stock flat granite and bronze markers are ready in 2–4 weeks. Special orders may take 3–4 months, but we’ll let you know before you place your order. We strive to keep as many sizes and colors in stock as possible.
Can I add an inscription to an existing memorial at Holy Cross?
Yes. We add inscriptions to existing memorials on site at Holy Cross. 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 →
Do you handle the approval process with Holy Cross?
Yes. Every design goes through our office first. We submit your proof to the cemetery for approval and obtain the installation permit, so nothing arrives at the gate unapproved.
Do I have to use an LMP edge at Holy Cross?
No, but it is highly recommended. An LMP (lawn-mower-proof) edge holds up better against grounds equipment over time. If you’d rather have a straight edge instead, Holy Cross requires a signed waiver at their office acknowledging the marker may be damaged, and they will not repair or remake it. We can walk you through both options when you’re designing your memorial.
