Headstones in South Jersey: Camden, Burlington, Gloucester & Atlantic
Philadelphia's New Jersey suburbs and the shore. Harleigh Cemetery, the Doyle veterans cemetery and how South Jersey families buy.
South Jersey — Camden, Burlington, Gloucester and Atlantic counties — ranges from Philadelphia's suburbs to the Pine Barrens and the shore. Camden's Harleigh Cemetery holds Walt Whitman's tomb. Veterans may be buried at Beverly National Cemetery or the state's Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Wrightstown.
Buying from a monument company
In New Jersey, families usually buy monuments from a monument dealer rather than the cemetery, then the cemetery approves and sets it. Ask the cemetery for its rules and foundation fees.
Salt air
Sea air carries salt that can stain and wear softer stones. Dense, polished granite with deep-cut lettering resists it best. See best headstones for coastal cemeteries.
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.
