What type of burial can I have? |
||
Many cemeteries offer several types of burial where others may only have one or two kinds. Types available are: |
||
| - |
Full Monumental Grave: This means the whole grave can be covered with a monument made from various materials such as marble, granite, sandstone, concrete, etc. The type, style and size are subject to the rules and regulations of your cemetery. |
||
| - |
Monumental Lawn: This is a lawn grave that is kept mown by the cemetery and only a headstone is allowed. The type, style and size are subject to the rules and regulations of your cemetery. |
||
| - |
Lawn Graves: Are also totally lawn except for a small plaque that’s placed at the head, either on a beam or flush with the lawn. |
||
| - |
Crypts and Vaults: Are for above ground entombment. In NSW, a body must be embalmed and contained in a metal lined casket (currently titanium zinc) if it is being placed in an above ground structure. |
||
| Most cemeteries that have crypts and vaults available are usually in a mausoleum or garden crypt style. Some cemeteries sell land to individual families so that they can build their own crypt or vault. |
