Headstones in Denver & the Front Range

Fairmount Cemetery, Fort Logan National Cemetery and mile-high sun, hail and freeze-thaw. A Colorado headstone guide.

Denver's Fairmount Cemetery and Riverside Cemetery are historic landmarks, and Fort Logan National Cemetery serves veterans. Families across the Front Range — Aurora, Lakewood, Boulder, Colorado Springs — face mile-high sun, hail and freeze-thaw.

High-altitude weather

Strong UV, spring hail and frequent freeze-thaw call for dense, polished granite with deep-cut lettering, and no fragile attached ornaments.

Mountain designs

Peaks, pines, ski trails and wildlife are popular. See mountain scene headstones and headstone quotes about mountains.

Cemetery rules

In the United States, cemeteries are regulated state by state, and every cemetery — municipal, religious, nonprofit or private — sets its own rules on memorial sizes, materials, foundations and installation. Before you order:

  • Ask the cemetery for its rules and fee schedule in writing (foundation, setting and any permit fees).
  • Confirm who installs — cemetery staff or an approved monument company.
  • Submit the design for approval before production.

Our cemetery headstone rules guide has a full checklist, and headstone setting fees explained covers the extra costs.

Veterans

Eligible veterans can receive a government headstone, marker or medallion, and families can also choose a private granite monument that includes service details. See veteran headstones and VA rules, the VA medallion and military inscriptions.
