Monument Setting and Installation
Setting a Monument is the final act of honoring a life. We take that responsibility seriously — whether the cemetery handles placement, or we do it ourselves.
We Handle Everything Up to the Moment of Placement
At most cemeteries in our region, the cemetery's own grounds staff handles the physical setting of the Monument. That's how Southern California works — and it's a seamless process when your Monument company knows the rules. We coordinate every detail on your family's behalf, from permit submission to delivery scheduling, so the cemetery has everything they need on the day they set your stone.
Some Locations Call for Our Hands-On Care
At certain cemeteries and private locations, VJ Memorials performs the setting directly. Our experienced crew handles the full process — from ground preparation to final inspection — and won't leave the site until everything is right.
Site Assessment
We review ground conditions and any special considerations before installation day.
Foundation Prep
A stable, level foundation ensures your Monument stands true for generations.
Careful Setting
Positioned, leveled, and secured with the precision this work deserves.
Final Inspection
Alignment, levelness, and cleanliness checked before we leave the site.
Monuments That Belong to the Whole Community
The work of honoring lives doesn't end at the cemetery gate. VJ Memorials also installs feature Monuments in public spaces — city parks, memorial plazas, veterans tributes, and civic commemoration pieces across Southern California.
If you represent a municipality, veterans' organization, school, or civic group with a commemorative project in mind, we'd be glad to talk. From concept through installation, we bring the same craft and care to public work that we've given to families for nearly 60 years.
Whether the cemetery sets the stone or we do — whether it's a private grave or a public Memorial — every piece that leaves our shop is a reflection of this family's name and nearly 60 years of craftsmanship.
