All full body graves are double depth in size and are suitable for only 2 full body burials. A vault or liner is required for each burial unless deemed not appropriate because of space. In the event a family would like to have Cremains buried in a full body grave, the regulation is as follows; Since the graves are double depth, the first grave must be a full body, however the second grave is permitted to have up to two cremated remains buried in Urns, in place of the second full body burial.
The cremation section, "Section 5" allows for up to three urns in each grave.
Headstones and military markers are permitted. Size requirements vary depending on the burial section and MUST be approved in writing by the Cemetery office PRIOR to purchase. The cemetery will provide, at additional cost, a foundation for all headstones.
