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

West Virginia National Cemetery
History
West Virginia National Cemetery is located approximately five miles west of Grafton, WV, in Taylor County.
Beginning in the 1960s, it became increasingly apparent that the Grafton National Cemetery was running out of burial space.
As a result, West Virginia veterans' organizations began lobbying for a second national cemetery.
In 1975, after extensive studies to determine whether or not Grafton could be expanded, authorities determined that the grounds were too steep and the cost too prohibitive.
The West Virginia United Veterans National Cemetery Committee was formed and began to pressure the governor and members of the congressional delegation for a new national cemetery.
