About this file
This is a technical drawing exhibit from the National Cemetery Administration (NCA), Department of Veterans Affairs, detailing headstone and flat marker installation specifications for Santa Fe National Cemetery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The document provides four installation options with detailed cross-sectional views, plans, and specifications for both upright headstones (base bid option) and flat markers (alternative options).
The upright headstone installation (Option 1) requires a compacted crushed aggregate base, 4 inches of amended topsoil (a homogenous blend of native and imported topsoil) over aggregate backfill, turfgrass sod, and proper grading. The flat marker installation options (Options 2, 3, and 4) vary in support systems, including options with plastic marker support grids or geogrids filled with amended topsoil, and specify compacted 3/4-inch minus aggregate base with 1/4-inch minus levelling sand. All installations require subgrade scarification, amendment, and recompaction throughout. The drawings establish dimensions for marker widths (18 and 24 inches), depth specifications (36 inches for 24-inch wide markers, 24 inches for 18-inch wide markers), and finish grade requirements with markers set 1 inch above finished grade. These technical specifications serve as the basis for construction work at the cemetery and establish the standards contractors must follow for proper headstone and marker installation.
