Monument Foundations across Alabama, coordinated from first call to final photo

A monument is only as stable as the base beneath it. We prepare and pour concrete foundations and set level bases sized to your monument and the cemetery’s specification, so uprights, flat markers and benches sit square and stay put through freeze-thaw and ground settling. Foundation depth and materials follow the cemetery’s approved requirements — there is no single depth suitable for every site. Every job is coordinated with the cemetery and documented with photos.

Across Alabama, monument foundations is delivered through our South network, so you get one clear point of contact and a crew coordinated to your cemetery — with nearby hubs in Florida, Oklahoma, South Carolina supporting scheduling across the region.

We work with monuments purchased from any retailer — not just our own family of brands — and every visit in Alabama is documented with photos so distant families can see the work was done correctly and respectfully.

Alabama National Cemetery

History

With the passage of the National Cemetery Expansion Act of 2003, Congress directed the Department of Veterans Affairs to establish six new national cemeteries in areas with at least 170,000 residents not currently served by burial locations for Veterans, including central Alabama.
At the time NCA purchased the site of Alabama National Cemetery, the property was used for agricultural purposes.
Alabama National Cemetery was formally dedicated in 2008, and opened for burials the following year.
Alabama National Cemetery is the third national cemetery built in the state and the 129th in the national cemetery system.
The first burials commenced on June 25, 2009.

This 479-acre national cemetery is in the Birmingham area and will serve Veterans' needs for at least the next 50 years.
The cemetery is 15 miles south of Birmingham, just north of the town of Montevallo and west of Interstate Highway 65.
In July 2007, the Department of Veterans Affairs purchased the site for approximately $8 million and awarded a contract in September 2007 to design the new cemetery.

What families say

Trusted by families and funeral homes across the country

“They handled everything with our mother’s monument — delivery, cemetery coordination, installation and photos afterward. We live in another state, so knowing it was set correctly and respectfully meant the world to us.”

Linda M.

Family, out-of-state

“The deep cleaning and leveling completely transformed the family plot. The before-and-after photos were incredible, and now the stone looks like it did when it was first installed. We’re very grateful for the care they showed.”

Emily R.

Family

“We added dates and a portrait to an existing monument through their engraving team. Everything matched perfectly and was done right at the cemetery. Communication was clear from start to finish.”
