About this file
This document is a technical drawing set for headstone setting details at Santa Fe National Cemetery, prepared by the National Cemetery Administration under the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The drawings illustrate four installation configurations for cemetery markers: upright headstone installation (base bid) and three optional flat marker installation methods. The upright headstone installation requires native soil preparation, turfgrass sod, 4 inches of amended topsoil (a homogenous blend of native and imported topsoil) over compacted crushed aggregate backfill, and a compacted crushed aggregate base. The three flat marker options vary in support systems, ranging from simple compacted leveling sand with plastic marker support grids to more complex configurations using plastic marker support geogrids with fill cells. Common to all installations are specifications for subgrade scarification, amendment, and recompaction, with amended topsoil depths of 4 inches minimum over aggregate backfill. Flat markers are set 1 inch above finish grade, with specific dimensional requirements varying by marker width (36 inches for 24-inch-wide markers; 24 inches for 18-inch-wide markers). The drawings note that flat marker thickness must be verified in the field and that marker support systems may require adjustment accordingly. All details are drawn to scale (not to scale noted) and include plan, section, and cross-section views to provide comprehensive installation guidance.
