Cemetery Regulations

What’s Allowed at Perris Valley

Perris Valley is a lawn style memorial park. Every memorial must be a solid, industry standard granite flush marker set level with the ground, finished with either a 2″ polished beveled edge or a sanded edge. Only one marker is allowed per gravesite, and the District’s own personnel set every marker. Grave borders and other architectural objects aren’t permitted unless approved by the cemetery manager. We build each marker to these specifications so it’s approved and set without a hitch.

The standard flat marker for a single or double interment in a single grave. Room for names, dates, an inscription, and artwork such as a portrait or scene. Finished with a 2″ polished beveled edge or a sanded edge.

Cremation / Infant: up to 18″ × 12″ × 3″

The smaller flat marker for cremation and infant gravesites. Either marker size may be placed on a cremation or infant space. Finished with a 2″ polished beveled edge or a sanded edge.
