Deciding on a Burial Plot

Kuratko-Nosek Funeral Home and Cremation Services • October 18, 2021

If you have to make funerary arrangements for a loved one who wanted to be buried, choosing the burial plot can be a crucial decision. Here are some tips that can make this easier.

One of the many decisions that you may have to make for a loved one who has died without letting you know what their funerary preferences were is the choice of a burial plot. There are lots of options to choose from and so you may not be sure where to start. If that is the case, there are some suggestions that directors of funeral homes in North Riverside, IL want you to keep in mind. 


You need to think of the location you choose for the burial plot. This is not always something that people think about carefully and that can be an error. If you are the person who will be maintaining the gravesite or who will be visiting it most often, you want to be sure that you do not choose a place that is too far. If you are sharing these duties with other people, you want to think about finding a location that is convenient for as many as possible. 


You want to consider the different kinds of burial plots that you can choose from. The most common options are single plots, while other people may prefer a companion plot. A companion plot can fit two caskets, either next to each other or at double depth. For families who want to be laid to rest together, you can choose a family plot. If your loved one wanted to be cremated but also preferred that their remains be buried, you can choose a burial plot that is made for cremated remains. Depending on your personal preferences and even your budget, one of these options may be better than another. 


Another thing to consider is the markers that you want. This is important to think about early in the process, since some cemeteries prefer a more uniform look and this can mean that they have restrictions on the kinds of markers you can choose. If that is the case, you want to be sure that you know exactly what choices you have. 


You also want to ask about the caskets that the cemetery allows before choosing the burial plot. If you want to give your loved one a green burial and want to have a biodegradable casket, you want to be certain that the cemetery allows these options. Not all of them do, so ask before making a choice for your loved one.
