You Have to Have a Plot

The first step in burying cremated ashes is to buy a cemetery plot. Many families buy a family plot where the entire family can be buried. Burying your loved one's ashes requires that you purchase a plot, although the size of the container has no bearing on the size of the plot. You will be charged full price for a cemetery plot as if you were buying a full-sized coffin. When you decide to look into headstones, contact our offices.
