Cemetery Frequently Asked Questions

Are Cemeteries Only for Burials?

Cemeteries offer more than just traditional burials; they provide options like cremations, green burials, and mausoleums. Green burials, for example, use no embalming fluid or caskets, allowing natural decomposition. Mausoleums give a clean, above-ground resting place and can sometimes be more affordable than in-ground burials. Cemeteries also serve as sacred spaces that honor history and preserve memories, with options ranging from public and private cemeteries to veteran and family burial grounds.

Can I Reserve a Burial Plot in Advance?

Yes, pre-purchasing a burial plot is a thoughtful option with several benefits. It helps lock in prices before they rise due to inflation and ensures you can choose a location that meets your preferences, such as being near loved ones. Planning ahead allows you to make knowledgeable decisions without the emotional weight of loss, easing the burden on your family. When considering this option, consider factors like maintenance fees for purchased graves, the potential cost of grave liners, and eligibility requirements for VA cemeteries.

What is Perpetual Care in a Cemetery?

A perpetual care fund maintains cemetery grounds, including landscaping, mowing, trimming, and keeping paths clear. This fund is established when a portion of the sale price of burial arrangements is set aside in a trust, generating income to cover ongoing maintenance costs. Often required by state law, these funds ensure that cemeteries remain well-kept over time, providing a dignified resting place for loved ones.
