How to Plan a Partner Gravestone or Family Cemetery?

Are you or your family interested in making permanent investments? 

When it comes to hospice services that no one wants to discuss, planning ahead is one of the smartest things you can do. Although the costs of burial and cremation continue to rise, many families buy cemeteries before death or any funeral needs. There are many reasons for these pre-emptive purchases, but the hope of keeping a family together is very attractive and cannot be wasted.

In this article, we will explain how to plan a partner gravestone or family graveyard so that you can make the most of your final resting place. Armed with this information, you can confidently move on and make the best decision for you and your spouse or family.

What is a companion plot?

A burial site is two cemeteries sold together, usually to couples. Funeral options include two side-by-side cemeteries or one cemetery, where two coffins can be buried on top of each other. Also known as "dual depth" plots, this type of companion plot is usually cheaper than similar plots side by side.

What is family Cemetery?

A family cemetery is a small cemetery purchased by a family. There is a large tombstone in the family cemetery with the family's name or surname on it. Each family member will have a separate tombstone or cornerstone to identify each burial site. Family land may also be easier to purchase than multiple plots of land or cellars.

Buy a partner or family plot.

When you buy a cemetery or tomb from a cemetery, strictly speaking, you are not buying land for burial. Instead, you are buying the right to be buried in that land or cellar. Burial right refers to the investor's right to decide who can be buried in a tomb or cellar and what kind of memorial will be placed there. However, the land is still the property and responsibility of the cemetery. The right of first refusal refers to the right to be provided before the land in the cemetery is provided to anyone else. For a group of cemeteries or surrounding cemeteries you buy, most cemeteries do not provide priority, so you may not be able to secure adjacent cemeteries to expand your family cemetery.

It is difficult to decide between buying a funeral site or a family cemetery, but no matter which method you choose, funeral real estate is a profitable investment with bright prospects. As the cost of cremation services continues to rise and the burial space in the cemetery continues to run out, your purchase decision is crucial. After 5 to 10 years, you may decide that you don't want to be buried at all, or that the public cemetery is not for you. Research shows that whether you buy a cemetery for your own use or sell it for profit, the cemetery will only continue to appreciate. Buying a cemetery is not a hasty decision, nor is it a hasty decision. Before buying, you should discuss any plans with other family members to ensure that your arrangements are suitable for everyone's needs.
