There are a variety of things you can do with your loved one’s ashes after cremation services in Las Vegas, NV are complete. Many family members have an ash scattering ceremony in a special location. Others keep the ashes in an urn at home. If you have decided that you’d like to bury the cremated remains in a cemetery, that’s also an option. If that is the direction you are considering, you will want to know what the costs involved are, so you are able to plan for them. Here are some of the things you will have to cover. 

 

The Burial Plot 

Most cemeteries have smaller, cremation plots available so you are able to bury an urn with your loved one’s ashes inside. But you will still have to purchase that plot. Granted, they are much less costly than a regular plot, but there is still a cost to them. Some people like to get several plots at once so there is room for other family members in the future. Take a look at plot fees in cemeteries around your rea to see what fits your desires and your budget. 

 

The Opening And Closing Fees 

Opening a cremation grave is much less arduous than opening a grave for a casket, but the cemetery still takes care of opening and closing the grave and you will have to pay the fees accordingly. They will use special tools and equipment as well as manpower and you will have to take on the bill. 

 

Obtaining The Right Documents 

You will fill out a lot of paperwork when you are working on a loved one’s burial, some of which will revolve around the cemetery and the actual burial of the cremated remains. There might be permits you have to secure through documents you’ll fill out. You will need to get copies of certain documents, which will have costs as well. 

 

Purchasing A Marker 

Again, cremation plots are smaller, and their grave markers are usually quite a bit smaller as well. But you will likely want something to mark the resting spot of your loved one, so you are able to visit again in the future and know exactly where they are. You can ask the professionals at the funeral home for help with fitting into the cemeteries regulations for a headstone over cremated remain plots. 

There are lots of other things you’ll want to think through and add into your budget when you are working on a burial process after cremation services in Las Vegas, NV. Burial will cost more than keeping the ashes or scattering them. But if that’s what you feel is best for your family and your loved one, that’s what you should do.
