Headstones in Louisville & Kentuckiana: Cave Hill and Zachary Taylor
Cave Hill Cemetery, Zachary Taylor National Cemetery and families on both sides of the Ohio River. A practical guide.

Louisville's Cave Hill Cemetery is one of the South's great garden cemeteries, and Zachary Taylor National Cemetery serves veterans. Families across Jefferson County and Southern Indiana use Catholic, church and memorial-park cemeteries.
Horses and bourbon country
Horses, horseshoes and racing designs suit many Kentucky families. See headstone ideas for a horse lover and horseshoe meaning.
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.
Southern Indiana
Many families live across the Ohio River in Indiana. We deliver to both states — see our Indiana page.
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.
