Burial lot Purchase FAQ's
- Can I purchase as many lots as I want?
- To ensure equitable access to burial space for both residents and non-residents, residents may purchase up to 6 pre-need burial lots. However, additional lots may be approved at the discretion of the Sexton. Non-residents are not permitted to pre-purchase lots. This limitation is intended to promote fairness and availability for all community members.
- Do you allow double burial lots?
- Yes. Double depth burials shall be required for all first interments. In the event of unforeseen circumstances during grave preparation, final determination of the grave’s disposition shall be at the discretion of the Sexton and Cemetery staff.
- Do you have infant lots?
- Yes, infant lots are available. To provide solace and support during a difficult time, families who have experienced the loss of an infant may request the reservation of an adjacent burial lot(s) for up to five years after the first interment. This option allows bereaved families and loved ones the opportunity to plan for future arrangements with sensitivity and care, ensuring a place for memorialization alongside their child.
- Do you have a cremation garden?
- Yes, the first phase of the cemetery includes a cremation garden.
Headstone Requirements

Extensions of this deadline must be approved by the City. Failure to comply may result in the City installing a marker at the burial right grantee's expense.

- Upright headstones may not exceed 36" in height.
- Flat Markers: Flat markers shall be level with the ground surface and shall not have any elements extending above the face of the marker. Flat markers shall not contain recessed cavities, nor shall they incorporate vases into their design.
- Cremation Markers: All markers shall be set by a licensed monument company after receiving written approval from the City.
- Mowing Strip: All grave markers must be surrounded by a 6-inch concrete or granite border, serving as a mowing strip.
- Type and Placement:
- Flat markers and upright markers are permitted, flat markers must be flush with the soil level. Elevated flat markers are not permitted. Each marker type will have a designated location within the Cemetery grounds.
