Cemetery Regulations
Cemetery Specifications: Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX
Before purchasing a plot, marker, or casket, understand the cemetery's governing rules. Cemeteries enforce specific requirements on outer burial containers (vaults), marker dimensions, granite vs. bronze materials, and concrete foundation pour fees.
Important Regulatory Distinction: Under the FTC Funeral Rule (16 CFR Part 453), funeral homes cannot refuse or charge handling fees for outside merchandise, but the federal rule generally excludes independent cemeteries unless they operate an on-site funeral home. Cemeteries operate under state law and individual cemetery regulations. Most cemeteries permit markers from independent monument artisans, but require written dimension approval, foundation engineering permits, and setting fees prior to delivery. Always verify section specifications with the cemetery office before purchasing stone or bronze markers.
