Headstones in Indianapolis & Central Indiana

Indianapolis's Crown Hill Cemetery is one of the largest non-government cemeteries in the US. The city's Catholic, Jewish and municipal cemeteries serve Marion County and its fast-growing suburbs, and veterans may be buried at Marion National Cemetery.

New communities

Indianapolis has one of the largest Burmese Chin communities in the US, along with growing Hispanic and African communities. Many choose bilingual inscriptions — Chin, Burmese, Spanish or others. See multilingual inscriptions.

Racing city

Racing fans often choose chequered flags and car numbers. See headstone ideas for a racing fan.

Winter and freeze-thaw

Cold winters and repeated freeze-thaw are hard on stone. Dense, polished granite with deep-cut lettering, on a foundation built to the cemetery's specification, lasts best, and most cemeteries install from spring to late autumn. See protecting a headstone in winter.

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.
