Companion Upright Monuments for San Antonio-area cemeteries

San Antonio has one of the largest Catholic communities in Texas, and many Bexar County families bury in the Archdiocese of San Antonio's cemetery network: San Fernando Cemetery II on Castroville Road, San Fernando Cemetery III on Cupples Road, and Holy Cross Cemetery on Nacogdoches Road. Military families often choose Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery on Harry Wurzbach Road, where the VA furnishes a government headstone or marker for eligible veterans. Sunset Memorial Park on Austin Highway serves many families on the northeast side. We work from our San Angelo workshop, roughly three and a half hours up US-87, and we deliver and set each marker ourselves. Every order begins with a free design proof, so you see the lettering, artwork, and dimensions before any granite, marble, or bronze is cut. Families in New Braunfels, Schertz, Converse, and Live Oak are welcome too. Call (806) 662-8696 for a custom quote.

Companion uprights suit San Antonio couples who purchase side-by-side spaces, carrying both names, a shared surname, and a family image across one tablet. Section rules decide the width and height. San Fernando II, San Fernando III, and Holy Cross fall under the Archdiocese of San Antonio, whose on-site restrictions are not published online, so the family should confirm the section rules with the office. Sunset Memorial Park sets its own. Many families order after the first burial and leave the second date blank; we return to engrave it later without moving the stone. Free proofs are drawn to scale in San Angelo. Call (806) 662-8696 for a custom quote.

Questions, plainly answered

FAQ — companion upright monuments in San Antonio.

Can the second date be added later to a companion upright in San Antonio?

Yes. We can return and engrave the final date directly on the stone without removing the monument or disturbing the foundation. Most families pay for the original carving up front and the final date only when it is needed.

How wide can a companion upright be at a San Antonio Catholic cemetery?

It depends. The Archdiocese of San Antonio does not publish its section restrictions online, so the family should ask the cemetery office for the allowed base width. Send us that figure and we will draw two or three options to scale.

Does the VA provide a headstone at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery?

Yes. The VA furnishes a government headstone or marker for eligible veterans, and headstones in a national cemetery are federal property. The VA also offers a medallion option for privately purchased markers. Contact the cemetery about what is permitted before ordering a private stone.

What are the monument rules at San Fernando and Holy Cross cemeteries?

It depends. The Archdiocese of San Antonio defines a memorial broadly, covering monuments, headstones, grave markers, tablets, and bronze plaques, but its on-site restrictions are not published online. The family should confirm with the cemetery office, and we will draw the design to what they tell you.

Does Texas Lonestar Monuments deliver to San Antonio from San Angelo?

Yes. The drive is about 212 miles down US-87, and we deliver and set the monument ourselves. Families in New Braunfels, Schertz, Converse, Universal City, and Live Oak are on the same route.

What are the marker rules at Sunset Memorial Park?

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

Can the second person’s death date be added later to a companion upright in San Antonio?

Yes. We can return to the cemetery in San Antonio and engrave the final date on the stone without removing the monument or disturbing the foundation. Most families pay for the original carving up front and pay only for the final date engraving when it is needed.

Do both names have to go on the same stone?

No. Some families build two single uprights on a shared base, or two flat markers under a shared coping wall. A companion upright is the most common choice because it reads as one piece of stone, but it is not the only option.

How do I pick the right size for a companion upright?

It depends. The cemetery’s section rule sets the maximum size; how much lettering and artwork you want sets the practical minimum. Send us the section in San Antonio you have purchased and we will draw two or three options to scale before you commit.

Is a companion upright more expensive than two single uprights?

It depends. A companion upright uses one base instead of two, so the granite cost is often lower than two singles — but the engraving cost is similar. Please give us a call for a custom quote and we will price both options side by side.

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.
