Cemetery rules in Alberta
Alberta's two big cities, Calgary and Edmonton, are home to more than half the province's people, with farming communities and mountain towns in between.
Cemeteries in Alberta are regulated provincially, and each cemetery — municipal, church, Catholic or private — sets its own by-laws on memorial size, materials, foundations and installation. Ask for them in writing before you order.
Our cemetery headstone rules guide lists the questions to ask, and we size every design to your cemetery's written by-laws.
Climate and durability
Prairie cold, wind and big temperature swings
Prairie winters are long and very cold, with strong winds and large temperature swings between seasons. Dense, polished granite with deep-cut lettering and a foundation below the frost line keeps memorials level and readable for generations.
When headstones are installed
Spring-to-autumn installation
Prairie cemeteries generally set monuments from late spring, once the frost is out of the ground, until freeze-up in autumn. A winter order is usually ready for the first installations of the season. If the burial was recent, many cemeteries also want the ground to settle first — see how long to wait after burial.
Delivering to Alberta
Every monument is made in our own factory and delivered door-to-door under DAP terms — to the cemetery, a local monument dealer or an address you choose. We coordinate delivery timing with the cemetery or installer. Read how DAP delivery works.
