Burial Plots
Buying the right burial plot is important if you want to make sure there is a convenient resting place for loved ones and family members to pay tribute to and visit the deceased. You will have a number of options when it comes to the type of plot to buy and how you pay for it when planning the burial of a casket or cremated remains.
The location of the plot and whether it meets with your family’s religious beliefs and requirements will affect where you purchase a burial plot. Factors which affect the cost of your plot include where the plot is located within the cemetery,
the type of plot you purchase, and the number of plots you purchase at one time.
Cemeteries Offer Four Types of Burial Plots as Ideal Resting Places
- Single plots – these are designed to cater for the remains of one deceased person in a casket.
- Companion plots – these are two plots sold together which are designed to cater for two individuals in one resting place – usually couples. The plots can be either side by side or a double depth plot can be provided for the caskets to be buried on top of each other.
- Family plots – these are quite popular to pre-purchase for a family. Most cemeteries allow for families to purchase an area of the land to cater for each member of the family.
- Cemetery plots for cremated remains – cemeteries allow for cremation urns to be buried alongside caskets. These urns take up less space and so often more than one urn can be buried in a plot.
- Urn gardens for cremated remains – cemeteries often offer a dedicated landscaped area called an urn garden which is ideal for the burial of cremated remains.
