Cemetery Permit Assistance across Colorado, coordinated from first call to final photo

Every cemetery has its own rules, permit forms and foundation requirements. We handle the paperwork: securing installation permits, preparing foundation drawings and coordinating approvals directly with the cemetery so approval requirements can be checked before scheduling.

Across Colorado, cemetery permit assistance is delivered through our West network, so you get one clear point of contact and a crew coordinated to your cemetery — with nearby hubs in California, Washington supporting scheduling across the region.

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

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.”
