Q: Where is the national cemetery in South Florida?

South Florida National Cemetery near Lake Worth.

South Florida — Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach — is home to Cuban, Haitian, Venezuelan, Colombian, Jewish, Caribbean and many other families, plus seasonal residents from the North and Canada. Veterans may be buried at South Florida National Cemetery near Lake Worth.

Many traditions

Spanish and Haitian Kreyòl inscriptions are common, as are Hebrew texts in Jewish cemeteries and mausoleum plaques in Latin American families' traditions. See Spanish phrases and the Jewish unveiling guide.

Heat, sun and hurricanes

Polished granite holds up best in strong sun and humidity; make sure monuments are properly set for hurricane season. Many cemeteries here use flat markers or mausoleum fronts.

Snowbirds

Many snowbirds are buried back home. We deliver across the US and Canada, so stones can go where the family plot is.

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.
