Frequent Questions


Click on the questions below to reveal each respective answer.

  • What types of memorial markers or monuments are permitted?


    At Westminster Memorial Gardens and Sharon Memorial Gardens, all markers must be flat bronze mounted on a granite base. At Camp Memorial Park, both bronze markers and upright monuments are permitted in certain sections. The Family Counselors at our office will be happy to help you to design a beautiful custom marker for your loved one. 

  • What is the difference between a Vault and a Graveliner?

    While both a Vault and a Graveliner are made of concrete and designed to have a casket placed inside them, a Vault will include additional layers of protection in the form of internal and sometimes external liners that can be made from heavy plastics or metals or both. These liners help to provide additional structural integrity and weatherproofing not offered by Graveliners. 

  • How many people may be buried in each space?


    Each burial space purchase includes interment rights for one person, however, a second right of interment may be purchased to allow one casket burial and one cremation burial or two cremation burials per space.

  • What is the Interment Fee?


    The Interment Fee or Professional Services fee is the amount collected for a memorial service performed at the time of burial. These services include but are not limited to; preparing the grave for burial, providing tent, chairs, and other equipment needed on the day of the service, sod removal/replacement, closing and packing the grave, temporary marker, administrative services, and routine lawn care/maintenance. 

  • If I already own Interment right(s), what else will I need?

    For traditional casket burials, it will be necessary to have a burial vault in which the casket is placed prior to burial. For cremation burials, cremains must be placed in an urn vault or in a cultured marble urn.  The vaults may be purchased here at the cemetery or at the funeral home of your choice. The vaults purchased must meet our guidelines before being allowed in our cemetery. The interment fee must also be paid in full at least 24 hours before the interment. In addition, most families choose to commemorate their loved one with a memorial marker.

Where is my Vase?

At Westminster, Camp, and Sharon, we design the vases on our flat bronze markers to be able to turn upside down and sit flush with the marker. Periodically, when we find a vase empty, we will turn it upside down. We do this to prevent the vase from collecting water and potentially being damaged. Below is an example of what the bottom of the vase looks like when it is flush with the marker and what it looks like when a vase is missing. Select the image to see the full view below.
