Headstones
Headstones can be ordered from any of the local headstone makers in the area. The local companies are familiar with our headstone specifications and requirements. Once the headstones have been ordered and/or delivered to the Woodlake Public Cemetery, a headstone installation fee is required to be paid in full to the Cemetery, and Cemetery staff will install the headstone.
We have noted some answers to frequently asked questions regarding headstones:
- For single plots, headstone sizes can be 12″ x 24″ or 14″ x 30″.
- For side-by-side plots, headstone sizes can be 16″ x 36″ or 16″ x 48″.
- Headstone installation fees are based on size of the headstone. If vases are included, an additional fee is charged for the expansion.
- Please contact the Cemetery Office for installation fees and to make arrangements for payment.
- In the South Section of the cemetery, no upright headstones are allowed.
- In the historic section of the cemetery (middle, older sections), upright headstones must be pre-approved by the District Manager.
- Upright headstones are only allowed in specific rows of the North Section. Plot fees in upright rows are sold at a higher price than those in flat headstone rows.
- For more details on headstone sizes and requirements by section, please view our Headstone/Grave Marker Policy.
Forms of Payment: We accept cash, check, cashier’s check, money order or credit card (credit fee processing applies). Payment must be paid in full at least two business days before burial. We do not offer payment plans.
