Veterans Headstones

Flat markers in granite, marble, and bronze and upright headstones in granite and marble are available. The style chosen must be consistent with existing monuments and policies at our local cemeteries. Niche markers are also available to mark columbaria used for inurnment of cremated remains. Contact your local cemetery and Darlington Cremation and Burial Service for information and instructions.

When burial or inurnment is in a national cemetery, state veterans' cemetery, or military post/base cemetery, a headstone or marker will be ordered by the cemetery officials based on inscription information provided by the next of kin or authorized representative.

Spouses and dependents are not eligible for a Government-furnished headstone or marker unless they are buried in a national cemetery, state veteran's cemetery, or military post/base cemetery.

Note: There is no charge for the headstone or marker itself, however arrangements for placing it in a local cemetery are arranged by the applicant and all setting fees are at private family expense. Contact your local cemetery and Darlington Cremation and Burial Service for information and instructions.
