Are memorial markers required on a grave?

No. The Davis Cemetery District does not mandate the placement of a marker or monument on a grave site. In general, we do not permit the placement of a marker or monument on a grave site until at least one interment has been done into the plot in question. Should a family choose to have a marker or monument installed on a plot, the District reserves the right to regulate the size and most aspects of how the monument is set. Please contact the office for up-to-date marker regulations. The California Health and Safety Code prohibits public cemeteries from participating in the sale of markers and monuments.

The cemetery will place a temporary marker at the time of interment, which are string trimmed for one year.
