Will my cemetery accept a marker or monument purchased from an outside source?
It is important to understand your rights as a consumer. You should know that you have the right to purchase your memorial from any monument provider. Do not let the cemetery discourage you from shopping around for the best memorial for you and your family.
All cemeteries are required by law to accept any memorial, no matter where you purchased it, as long as it meets their specific rules and regulations. If a cemetery claims that they will not accept a memorial purchased elsewhere, ask to see their cemetery by-laws. If you feel you are being treated unfairly you have the right to report them to the Federal Trade Commission or the Better Business Bureau.
