Bench Memorials for Wichita Falls-area cemeteries

Wichita Falls has buried its families at Riverside Cemetery since December 1879, when the first burial took place at what was then called Wichita Cemetery. The city has owned Riverside since 1892, and it also runs Lakeview and Rosemont on Southwest Parkway, all under one set of published rules. Those rules are specific about stonework. Grave markers must be one piece, with nothing set in a socket or in dowels, and all setting is supervised by the Superintendent. Crestview Memorial Park on Archer City Highway and Burkburnett Memorial Cemetery serve many Wichita County families too. Our workshop in San Angelo is about four hours south, and we deliver and set each marker ourselves, checking in with the cemetery office before we arrive. Every order starts with a free design proof. Families connected to Sheppard Air Force Base, and those in Iowa Park, Electra, and Henrietta, are welcome. Call (806) 662-8696 for a custom quote.

A granite bench beside a family plot gives visitors a place to sit. In Wichita Falls city cemeteries, the rules that matter are the one-piece requirement for markers, the rule that monuments are set inside the lot, and the Superintendent's supervision of all stonework. The city's rules do not mention benches by name, so the family should confirm placement at Riverside, Lakeview, or Rosemont with the office. Crestview Memorial Park and Burkburnett Memorial Cemetery set their own policies. Once a bench is approved, we cut it in San Angelo, engrave the seat or back, and can add a sealed niche for cremated remains. Call (806) 662-8696.

Questions, plainly answered

FAQ — bench memorials in Wichita Falls.

Are benches allowed in Wichita Falls city cemeteries?

It depends. The city's published rules do not mention benches by name, so the family should confirm placement and footprint with the cemetery office before ordering.

Can a bench memorial in Wichita Falls hold cremated remains?

Yes. Some bench designs have a sealed niche under the seat or in one end for one or two urns, where the cemetery allows it. Tell us up front and we will include it in the quote.

Does the City of Wichita Falls publish monument rules?

Yes. The city's rules say grave markers must be in one piece, with no markers set in a socket or in dowels, and monuments must be set inside the lot or single grave space. The setting of all stonework is subject to the control and supervision of the Superintendent or an assistant.

How big is the foundation for a monument in a Wichita Falls city cemetery?

It depends. The city's rule is that foundations are built two inches less in both width and breadth than the monument base, so the base size sets the foundation size. We send the base dimensions with the proof.

What are the marker rules at Crestview Memorial Park?

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

Does Texas Lonestar Monuments deliver to Wichita Falls?

Yes. Wichita Falls is about four hours from our San Angelo workshop, and we deliver and set monuments across Wichita County, including Burkburnett and Iowa Park. Call (806) 662-8696 for a custom quote.

Are bench memorials allowed in cemeteries in Wichita Falls?

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 Wichita Falls 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.

Does MemorialTag open a digital memorial?

Yes. When scanned, MemorialTag opens a digital memorial where you can share photos, videos, voice messages, and written tributes. It lets you preserve and share your loved one's story with family, friends, and future generations — all at no extra cost.
