A variety of memorialization options are available, including monuments, columbarium inscription, vases and memorial tree stands.
Included is the supply and installation of concrete foundations for upright monuments, installation of flat markers, and application reviews and coordinating installation with monument dealers. Local monument dealers will include these fees in their costs and forward the appropriate fee to the cemetery on your behalf.
Some areas of the cemetery will require a concrete foundation, while others have a concrete strip in place. Both options provide a level and stable surface for the monument.

Flat marker sections do not require a concrete foundation or concrete strip. Please see the fee brochure for applicable rates.

IMPORTANT: There are regulations specifically governing the size, type, material and placement of all monuments in the cemetery (Please see Bylaws and Regulations for monuments). The Sunshine Cemeteries accepts no responsibility for any monument work initiated prior to the approval of the application.
Columbarium niches can be inscribed after purchase. The only limitation is the number of characters that will fit on the plaque. There is an additional fee for any inscriptions required in the future. Please see the fee brochure for applicable rates.
i) Permanent In-Ground Vase
In accordance with the Bylaws and Regulations, plastic floral arrangements must be placed in a vase. Below is an example of a vase used for flat marker sections. The vase can be inverted upside to prevent damage when not in use or for winter storage. Please see the fee brochure for applicable rates.

In the past, memorial tree stands were solely used to remember those who served in the military (See Memorial Avenue). However, they may now be purchased to remember all loved ones. The family or individual may choose the plaque inscription for available trees in the Sunshine Cemeteries that do not have memorial tree stands present.
