Your cemetery options are many and varied. The first decision you have to make, however, is if you want a full casket, in-ground burial; a full casket, above-ground entombment; or, cremation followed by...

In all instances, you need to purchase interment rights.

When you purchase “interment rights,” you in fact purchase the right to specify who may be interred (buried) or entombed in the space, rather than purchasing the grave/lot/urn space/crypt or niche itself, which remains the property—and the responsibility—of the cemetery. Interment rights include the right to place a memorial where permitted.

A portion of the purchase price of all interment rights is contributed to an irrevocable fund—the Care and Maintenance Fund. Income from the fund is used to provide regular care and maintenance activities at the cemetery.

All interment rights are subject to the Cemetery By-laws, copies of which are available at the cemetery office, or which may be read or downloaded in PDF format.
