Guidance for Scheduling a Monument Unveiling Ceremony

Because the process of designing, producing, and installing a monument can take several months, we encourage families to place their order with a monument dealer as early as possible to ensure the monument is in place before the intended ceremony date.


Our guidelines for arranging a private memorial are available here. This resource also includes contact information for local monument dealers.


Please note that Mount Auburn cannot confirm a monument unveiling ceremony date until the monument has been delivered and installed at the cemetery. This policy helps avoid scheduling changes associated with production or delivery delays.
