If you are planning or have just recently lost a loved one, you might be considering purchasing a cemetery plot with one of the funeral homes in Daytona Beach, FL. If you have never had to go through the process before, it might be confusing what options are available, and the standard pricing is, so we have gathered more information in this article to help you make the right decision.
What Kinds of Traditional Plots Are Available?
There are four main kinds of plot options that you will find in most cemeteries, and they include:
Single
The single plot is the most common type of grave available that individuals choose. Its design is fit for one casket, and the individual inside of it it’s the most affordable and straightforward option out of all the choices.
Family
It’s not uncommon for family members to want to be buried together, and this plot is specifically for this task. In most situations, it’s simply just a larger area of the cemetery that will have multiple side-by-side plot spaces for each individual. And traditionally, the site will have a large headstone or monument with the family name to help identify the location.
Double
Plots can be sold together so the individuals can be laid to rest in the same space. This is commonly used for couples, and the spacing will allow for them to either be laid side-by-side or they can be stacked on top of one another in a double-depth plot. The double depth is the more affordable option because it only utilizes the space of one plot on the surface of the gravesite.
Cremation
Another plot option is for cremated remains, and not all cemeteries will have this available. The standard size is intended for one casket, and the urn can be placed inside this space. This can be a more affordable choice if you have multiple people cremated and have urns that want to be laid to rest together because the size of the grave will allow for this.
What Will a Plot Cost?
The plot’s cost will vary in price and will be dependent on a few different factors, including if the cemetery is a public or private one and if it’s in an urban or rural area. The average price for burial in a private cemetery can range between $2000 and $25,000, whereas a public cemetery will be between $200 and $2000.
Some additional costs may be involved, including the intermit fees, which can vary between $350.00 and go up to $3000, and the burial permit, which is around $20.
