NMFC 90060 – Metal Grave Markers | Class 77.5

Note 90062: NOTE-Shipments may include necessary complement of bases made of same or other materials for each marker.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Protect each metal marker from abrasion: wrap in VCI paper or poly, add foam or corrugated dividers, and use edge guards so inscriptions or finishes don’t scuff.
2. Choose sturdy packaging: heavy-duty boxes or wood crates for sets; fiber or steel drums for bulk small pieces. Fill voids and block/bracing to stop movement.
3. Palletize for LTL: center weight on the pallet, band and stretch-wrap, and label all sides. Mark “Metal Grave Markers—Not Monuments” to prevent reclass.
4. List on the BOL as “NMFC 90060, Class 77.5, metal grave markers (see Note 90062).” Keep shipment counts by container type (boxes/crates/drums) for accurate receiving.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 77.5 streamlines quoting and reduces density disputes for cemetery suppliers, municipal buyers, and memorial installers.
• Lower reclass risk: clear “not monuments nor gravestones” designation helps avoid upcharges often tied to heavier stone memorial categories.
• Damage reduction: crate or drum options enable tighter blocking and corrosion control, cutting claim rates and replacement costs.
• Faster compliance: non-hazardous status and simple NMFC reference speed audits, accelerating pickups and improving on-time delivery metrics.
