A checklist of issues to consider when your loved one is choosing a cemetery plot.

Standard Cemetery Fees Include:

• The plot itself
• The opening and closing of the grave
• An outer burial container
• A marker or headstone
• A copy of the burial permit

Other Considerations:

• Ask about any relationships the cemetery has with a funeral home—this may allow for a fixed or discounted transportation fee between the two.
• Ask about the projected room for growth in a cemetery.
• Early purchase of the plot will make it less expensive.
• Early purchase of the plot will assure that your loved one can be buried near a spouse, relative, or friend.
• Your loved one can purchase a plot through the cemetery, cemetery property re-sales brokers, or ads in the newspaper.
