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.
