Headstones in Omaha & Eastern Nebraska

Omaha's historic Prospect Hill Cemetery and Forest Lawn Memorial Park serve families across eastern Nebraska, and Omaha National Cemetery opened to veterans in the 2010s. Lincoln, Bellevue and Council Bluffs families share the region.

Prairie freeze-thaw

Cold winters, hot summers and frequent freeze-thaw call for dense, polished granite with deep-cut lettering on a proper foundation.

Farm and family

Wheat, tractors, barns and prairie skies suit many Nebraska families, and Czech, German, Irish and Sudanese heritage appears in inscriptions and symbols. See farm scene headstones.

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.
