Somehow it happened historically that advertising of services related to the burial of a person is hidden from the consumer as much as possible. And this is despite the fact that death is an integral part of life, and sooner or later every family is faced with such a problem as organizing a funeral. One of the most pressing questions facing the relatives of the deceased today is which and how to choose a cemetery.
It just seems that choosing a cemetery is very simple. In fact, it is quite difficult to solve such a problem, because you need to take into account a lot of different nuances.
How to choose a cemetery for a funeral
When choosing a cemetery, first of all, you need to understand whether you will bury a person autonomously or bury it to an existing grave. In addition, it is very important to determine the option of burial - whether this will be a standard procedure, or you will get by with cremation. So, in the second case, any cemetery will not suit you, but you will need a special one, where there is a columbarium.
If you are going to tease a person to an existing grave, it should be borne in mind that it will cost more. In addition, it is not a fact that there is enough space left on the family site for the excavation of another grave.
In addition, when choosing a cemetery, you need to consider its location. So, for example, if you have relatives of an age who will visit this grave, this should not be a difficult quest for them. Be sure to remember about the grandmother with sore legs, for whom it will be easier to get to the nearest cemetery and the grave closer to the road.
It is also worth understanding how favorable the nature around is. If the cemetery is constantly washed away by rains, and landslides are not uncommon there, it is better to refuse such a place.
It is worth remembering that the older the cemetery, the more famous it is, which means that there may be no places there at all, or they will be very, very expensive. In this case, you will have to give preference to more budgetary counterparts.
Again, the older the cemetery, the better its infrastructure. And this means that flowers can be bought right in front of the entrance to the churchyard, cleaning of territories and landscaping is carried out many times better than in just developing cemeteries.
What to Consider
When you choose a cemetery that suits you in all respects, and select a place for a burial that meets all your needs, you will need to conclude an agreement with the cemetery management company.
In fact, they argue, the land in the cemetery is free. In fact, this is not the case. And you will have to pay allegedly for the burial, but this amount will include everything - both the cost of the site, and the work on the burial and subsequent ennobling of the territory.
The cost of a site in a particular cemetery depends on its location, popularity and many other parameters. The status of the city is also important. For example, in Moscow, a plot in a cemetery will cost several times more than in Khabarovsk.
Often grief-stricken relatives have neither the strength nor the time to deal with these issues. Therefore, they prefer to order funeral services in the complex from intermediary firms.
However, if you nevertheless decide to deal with this issue on your own, be prepared that you will have to spend a lot of effort.
