Monument Foundations in Virginia
Poured concrete foundations and level bases sized to the cemetery’s specification for a stable, lasting monument. Available throughout Virginia via our South network with a single point of contact.
Monument Foundations across Virginia, 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 Virginia, 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 Virginia is documented with photos so distant families can see the work was done correctly and respectfully.

Foundation and setting plans start with the cemetery itself. Here is what VA publishes for Alexandria National Cemetery, VA and Ball's Bluff National Cemetery.
Alexandria National Cemetery, VA
History
Alexandria National Cemetery is located near the Old Town section of Alexandria, VA, amid several other community cemeteries.
The original cemetery consisted of approximately four acres known as Spring Garden Farm.
Alexandria was one of the principal campsites for Union soldiers sent to defend Washington, DC, at the outbreak of the Civil War.
These troops, composed primarily of "three-month volunteers," were unprepared for the demands of war.
When they tried to turn the Southern advance at Bull Run, they were decisively defeated and hastily retreated back to Washington.

Ball's Bluff National Cemetery
History
The diminutive Ball's Bluff National Cemetery is located approximately two miles from the Town of Leesburg, in Loudoun County, VA.
Land for the half-acre cemetery was acquired through donation in 1865, and the government received a quitclaim deed from the original owner's heirs in 1904.
Because of its location and size, the cemetery has never required a superintendent.
Within the cemetery, which is enclosed by a brick wall, lie the remains of 54 soldiers who died during the Battle of Ball's Bluff.
The remains are interred in 25 graves, and the only known interment is James Allen of Co. H, 15th Massachusetts Infantry.

“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.”
