Jewish law requires that a grave be marked, but the type of marking and the headstone are not specified. We recommend that you contact your rabbi, cemetery and monument company in advance to arrange for a proper unveiling. The monument company should be familiar with Jewish monument customs and Hebrew lettering.
Local monument companies that most Jewish families in Baltimore use are:
Fram Monument Company: www.frammonument.com
Tegeler Monument Company: www.tegelermonument.com
Chesapeake Monuments: chesapeakemonumentsmd.com
Veterans who are honorably discharged and have access to their DD-214 are eligible for a state-issued government monument. Please contact the monument company for specific details.
