Bench Memorials for Fort Worth-area cemeteries

Fort Worth's oldest burial ground, Pioneers Rest on Samuels Avenue, dates to 1850 and holds General Edward H. Tarrant, the namesake of Tarrant County. When it filled, John Peter Smith donated land for Oakwood Cemetery on Grand Avenue in 1879. Today Fort Worth families also bury at Greenwood Memorial Park on White Settlement Road, Mount Olivet Cemetery on North Sylvania Avenue, Laurel Land Memorial Park on Crowley Road, and the Dallas–Fort Worth National Cemetery overlooking Mountain Creek Lake. Rules differ by cemetery and often by section, and both Mount Olivet and Laurel Land set aside some areas for flat markers and others for uprights. Our San Angelo workshop is about four hours from Fort Worth. We cut the stone there, send a free design proof, and deliver and set the marker ourselves. Families in Arlington, North Richland Hills, Haltom City, and Grand Prairie are welcome. Call (806) 662-8696 for a custom quote.

A granite bench gives Fort Worth families a place to sit on a visit, and it can carry names, dates, and a short inscription on the seat or back. Placement depends on the cemetery. Mount Olivet and Laurel Land Memorial Park set marker types section by section, and Oakwood and Greenwood Memorial Park do not publish bench rules, so the family should confirm placement and footprint with the office first. The Dallas–Fort Worth National Cemetery follows VA rules. Once a bench is approved, we cut it in San Angelo and can add a sealed niche for cremated remains. We deliver and set it ourselves. Call (806) 662-8696.

Questions, plainly answered

FAQ — bench memorials in Fort Worth.

Are bench memorials allowed in Fort Worth cemeteries?

It depends. We found no published bench rules for the Fort Worth cemeteries we researched, so confirm placement and footprint with the cemetery office before ordering.

Can a bench memorial in Fort Worth hold cremated remains?

Yes. Some bench designs are built with a sealed niche under the seat or in one end for one or two urns. Tell us up front and we will quote the bench with the niche.

Do cemetery rules in Fort Worth differ by section?

Yes. Mount Olivet Cemetery's published rules set marker type section by section, with only flat markers allowed in some sections, and Laurel Land describes gardens reserved for flat markers and others for upright monuments. Confirm your section with the cemetery office before ordering.

Does the VA provide the headstone at Dallas–Fort Worth National Cemetery?

Yes. VA national cemeteries furnish government headstones or markers for eligible veterans, and private markers must meet national-cemetery specifications. Confirm with the cemetery office before ordering anything private.

Does Texas Lonestar Monuments serve families in Fort Worth?

Yes. Fort Worth is about four hours from our San Angelo workshop, and we deliver and set monuments across Tarrant County, including Arlington, North Richland Hills, and Haltom City. Call (806) 662-8696 for a custom quote.

What are the marker rules at Greenwood Memorial Park?

It depends. We found no published marker rules for Greenwood Memorial Park, so the family should confirm size and style with the cemetery office before ordering.

Are bench memorials allowed in cemeteries in Fort Worth?

It depends. Many older cemeteries allow benches inside a family plot; many memorial parks restrict them to designated cremation or garden sections. Call the cemetery office in Fort Worth before you order and we will design within their rule.

Can a bench memorial hold cremated remains?

Yes. Some bench designs are built with a sealed niche under the seat or in one end to hold one or two urns. Tell us up front if that is the use case and we will price the bench with the niche included.

How long does a granite bench last outdoors?

It depends. A granite bench set on a properly poured concrete pad will commonly stay level and unweathered for many decades. The variables are the foundation work and the freeze-thaw cycle, not the stone itself.

Can people actually sit on a bench memorial?

Yes. That is the point. We finish the seat to be usable in any weather and we set the bench on a level pad so it does not rock when used.

Can I buy a monument from someone other than my funeral home or cemetery?

It depends. Many families choose an independent monument maker, but cemetery rules and installation requirements can vary. Ask your cemetery for its current written requirements and fees before ordering; we can help you review them.

What do I need to know when purchasing a cemetery monument?

It depends. Some cemeteries have restrictions on the monuments they accept, so it is a good idea to check with your cemetery first to find out what guidelines you must follow. You must also know how much you can spend; most styles can be adapted to fit any size budget. From here, you can decide on a monument style that expresses the life of you or your loved one. You can choose from a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and materials for your memorial. Texas Lonestar Monuments will be happy to help you further customize your monument with text, engravings, and other decorations.

Can you help me order a custom cemetery monument?

Yes. Texas Lonestar Monuments will be glad to help you design a completely custom monument to commemorate your life or that of a loved one. We offer a wide variety of styles, shapes, colors, and materials. Please give us a call for a custom quote.

What materials are used in monuments?

It depends. Granite is the most popular monument material we use today because of its ability to withstand extreme climates and temperatures. Other materials include marble and bronze.

What is the expected cost of a monument?

It depends. The cost of monuments is based on many different factors, including size, material, and accessories. For more information about the cost of monuments, please contact us.

I found it cheaper online. Can you match the price?

It depends. We cannot compare prices without knowing the materials and services included. Send us the written quote and your cemetery details; we will explain what our custom quote includes, from design through installation.
